sunlight out of the Earth, adding to the cooling effect of the Ice Age. Furthermore, since there was a reduced amount of solar radiation during the period, the expanding glaciers were also able to further reflect out any radiation, leading to the initial decreasing in temperature as seen in negative feedback loops. However, towards the end of the Little Ice Age in the mid 1800’s, there was more radiation entering the atmosphere due to the new change in orbit and rotation of the Earth. This…

fourth planet away from the sun, is our next door neighbor. Since Mars is pretty close to Earth (compared to other planets) and we have the technology; people will move there and never come back. This one way ticket to Mars is called Mars One. People have made this the experience of the century, and each day we learn more and more about Mars. Leaving Earth to go to Mars probably means leaving your whole life on Earth and starting a new life on a whole new different planet that you would not…

Over the years people have speculated the origins of the earth whether it was created by a powerful unworldly being or just happening spontaneously. Creationists say the earth was created by God in 6 days while evolutionists say that the creation of the earth and the life on it happened spontaneously. Both groups have valid reasons for the creation of the earth but there is no definitive answer or proof of how the Earth was created. “Evolutionism is the idea that the universe is the…

its names. It gives information that it is a result of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Other picture gives the three reasons why the Moon appears different in the month, and there are: its spin rate, its orbit around Earth, and the illumination of half of its surface by the Sun. The last picture is showing how we see the Moon from Earth, how it appears in reality when the Moon orbit Earth, and how the Sunis Rays enter the Earth. People see every month the same Moon phases because the Moon cycles…

of life for every living organism on Earth. The Sun is made out of multiple layers and contains a core like Earth. It is classified as a Yellow Dwarf Star and has a surface temperature of 5,000 to 5,700 degrees celsius. But despite of this, there are many other stars in space that dwarf our Sun. The Sun also has an interesting history, from when it has been formed to the present time. The Sun is not the only star in the Milky Way. Another star close to Earth is Alpha Centauri C, also called…

indistinguishable elements. Both creation stories have some things in common. First, in both stories humans were made from the earth. The Chinese story states that Nu Wa sculpted humans from the mud. “From the edge of the pond she took some mud and shaped it in the form of a human being… It took like as she set it on soil”. (Chinese) This evidence is telling how humans were brought to the earth by Nu Wa. In the Genesis tale, god wanted something beautiful so he decided to create…

carbon into the atmosphere which retains heat from the sun and warms the earth. We can stop, or at least slow significantly the consumption of fossil fuels by using alternative forms of energy such as wind, solar, and hydropower. Our survival depends on it. In one year about 273Wm2 of solar radiation reaches the Earth. This amount is variable, based on various factors. The sun may send different amounts of radiation to Earth. “Between the years 1350 and 1900, the Northern…

The Moon mass is 1/81 of the Earth's mass and the Earth's gravity is 1/6 of gravity on the Earth's surface, meaning that if you weigh 60 kg on Earth, your weight on the Moon will be 10 kg. If you can easily carry a 30-kilogram bag on the ground, you can easily carry a 180-kilogram bag on the moon. If you can easily jump on the surface of the earth to a height of half a meter, you can climb as high as 3 meters. Also, if you have a pendulum clock that vibrates on the ground 60 times a minute, it…

1. How do humans owe their lives to the deaths of stars? • These stars created us occurring to science. 2. What's a nebula? • A cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and gas. 3. Explain the process by which a star is formed. • Gas and dust form in a size 10 times our solar system. 4. What creates a star’s heat/energy (use the words hydrogen and helium in your answer). • Burning hydrogen and converting it into helium. 5. What's the most common type of star? • Red Dwarfs. 6. Why do bigger stars…

and the angle that the sun hits the earth work together to make the seasons. During the summer the sun hits the earth more directly, and during the winter the sun hits the earth more indirectly. The reason why direct or indirect light causes the seasons is because the light of the sun is more concentrated when it's direct, but when it hits indirectly it's more spread out. Therefore, if the angle of the sun changes and hits more directly to a certain place on earth it will most likely be warmer…
