Habitable zone

moon. It was the most difficult planet to detect because of its small size. This moon-sized planet and its two companion planets found by NASA’s Kepler mission were detected while research scientists embarked on the discovery of a planets with “habitable zones” near a star similar to our sun. Another key characteristic researchers were looking for was an orbiting planetary system that…

The purpose of this essay is to summarize the article by Paul Young regarding water as a resource, whether it falls from the sky or pumped from the ground. It studies the idea of water being used wastefully is the past decades. The first thing that will discuss is the origin of water and how it began, which will then lead to comparing resources of groundwater and surface water. Finally ending with a discussion about fresh water, on the ground and atmosphere. In the article, the author starts by…

Its proximity with Earth means that it lies shut enough to the “habitable zone” of the system. The temperature is on the average nearer to Earth’s; particularly compared to Venus, Europa (a moon of Jupiter), and Titan (a moon of Saturn). These bodies either have too thick of an environment and square measure too hot (Venus)…

similarities and differences between other Asian countries as well as what the economy is capable of based on the geography and weather patterns, as these play large roles in the country’s productions. Temperature extremes are noticed in the summer and winter months, much like what we experience here in parts of America, and these extremes are a major concern for the monsoons that occur that alter the precipitation patterns throughout the seasons. Because South Korea is so close to the rest of…

barrier island, intending to build single family homes such as those on the immediately adjacent parcels. During that time, the lots weren’t subject to the State’s coastal zone building permit requirements. In 1988, the state legislature enacted the Beachfront Management Act. This act prohibited Lucas from building any permanent habitable structures in his parcels. David decided to file a lawsuit against the respondent state agency, stating that he understands that the Act may have been a lawful…

In order to explore the significance in the possible existence of extraterrestrial lives, my group and I collaborated to create a short documentary video on the extinction of an extraterrestrial civilization. In this collaborative film project, I contributed as both a director and a media producer, constructing the background and settings of the narrative and completing all post-production tasks. The documentary video describes an exploratory visit by a spaceship in the year 2120 to a planet…

For our lab presentations, Natalie Lutz and I chose to research other planetary systems. We knew this was a topic that would lightly be discussed in class and therefore decided we could educate our peers further on the topic. It offered a look into the different types of ways planetary systems are discovered and the different ones that have already been discovered. Extrasolar planets are defined as planets rotating around other stars- or remnants of stars. This is comparable to our planet…

A water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Oxygen and Hydrogen are gases but when combined form into a liquid compound; water. The hydrogen atoms make an angle of around 105 degrees with the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom dominates an end of the molecule while the hydrogen atoms dominate the other. The asymmetry of the water molecule causes the oxygen end to have a slight negative charge while the hydrogen end has a slightly positive charge. A molecule with both (-) and…

but can also drive single sided ventilation, and vertical ventilation flows. Air flow occurs caused by difference pressure between indoor and outdoor air. Location of opening such as window determines air flows within habitable area. Opening should not higher or lower than living zone. In air principle, it flows from high pressure area to low pressure area. The air velocity increased after entering…
