The Vega has many properties and characteristics in the star. The Vega star is 25 light years away from the earth and the mass is 2.1 times bigger than the sun. It is about 455 million years old and each rotation period is 12.5 hours. The diameter is about 2.2 million miles, which is 2.5 times the Sun, the temperature is approximately 17,000 F (9,500C), the luminosity is about 40 times the Sun’s size, and the star type is is a white main sequence star, so it is in A class. Since it is a main…

slow and the development that a precession has over short-wave radiation is very small but it still has a huge impact at seasonal changes and one of the main reasons why the incoming solar radiation is not evenly distributed between the equator and the poles. The equator will receive the direct sunlight and experience a higher temperature and at the poles is the opposite, the sun strikes there at an angle and the solar radiation is low resulting in decreased temperature one of the main reason…

Gladwell attempts to prove while individual efforts are a big role in success, theses outliers would have never been…

Skin colour is determined by alleles that control the production of colouring pigments namely pheomelanin and eumelanin. Therefore skin coloration is a hereditary trait rather than dependent on the area where you live. Light skinned people produce mostly pheomelanin and darker skinned people produce eumelanin. The sizes of melanin particles differ among individuals and the number and size of these particles are what ultimately determines skin colour. More than 6 different genes code for this…
