The Sun and Our Star - Have you ever questioned as to how and why we are able to dry our clothes in the summer, and to be able to heat food and treat our water? - This all thanks to the sun - Without the sun, we all would be dead, it gives us light, heat and energy to heat up the Earth - Most of the energy stays inside of the sun because of its gravitational pull, and all small amounts leave the surface in the form of radiant energy Type of star: Age: Yellow dwarf 4.5 Billion Years…
For each heavier element it will take more pressure and energy to produce the product of the reaction. Hydrogen fusion makes helium. Helium fusion will produce carbon. Carbon fusion reactions doesn 't occur for lower mass stars, such as the sun, because there isn’t enough pressure and energy. Once all of the elements become carbon, the production of heat and energy is stopped, and…
gassy as stated on Science news the planet is made up of a lot of water, ammonia, and methane. These compounds are not always frozen, nevertheless, Uranus is still considered an ice giant. The atmosphere of Uranus the ice giant is made up of mostly helium and hydrogen, but methane gives it its blue-green color. Seventy-four earth years is equivalent to one year on Uranus. One of the largest planets in our solar system, Uranus has a diameter of 50,652 km. The greater size makes it 4 times…
Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the sun, and is the largest planet in our solar system. In addition, the planet is primarily made of gases, therefore it considered a “gas giant”. The 142,984 km planet’s atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Therefore, there is no solid ground on Jupiter, so the surface is considered the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth. The effective temperature, or “the temperature of an object calculated from the radiation it…
T he Hindenburg was built by Germans and there were many people of different nationalities on board before it crashed including a German ministry (Colonel). This disaster started the end of the airship transportation. There was a total of ninety two people on the Hindenburg at the time that it crashed. The Hindenburg had a smoking lounge despite being filled with hydrogen at the time. The gas cells for earlier zeppelins were made of goldbeaters skin (the outer membrane of cattle intestines) the…
energy level and the shells furthest away have the highest energy levels. The outermost shell with the highest energy level is called the valence shell. When molecules form the individual atoms typically want to fill its valence shell. For example helium is full with two electrons in its valence shell…
still is not big enough to withstand fusion that is needed to power up a star. Saturn is also a gas planet just like Jupiter. It is mostly made of the two basic gases which are helium and hydrogen but its ice particles contain methane, water, and ammonia. Ninety four percent of the planet is hydrogen, six percent is the helium, and the other small percents are the other gases. These gases that Saturn contains on some of the same types of gases that the Sun contains as well. It has said to be…
become a supernova, a giant explosion, then can become either a neutron star or a black hole. While still in the main sequence, though, stars go through nuclear fusion to produce heat and energy. This is a process where hydrogen molecules fuse into helium. Nuclear Fusion…
with Mars, Mercury and Venus, they were formed from some elements that had accumulated in a zone round about 55 million to 230 million kilometers (35 million to 140 million miles) from the sun. Even though the Earth did have some hydrogen and helium in its early atmosphere, its weak gravity lost its light gases right afterwards. Young-Earth View The Young-Earth viewpoint for this portion of the essay will discuss the Six-Day creation. The Young-Earth’s view point comes from the…
1.0 Introduction The dash 8-Q400 is a high wing aeroplane manufactured by bombardier aerospace with shared intrests from several parteners. It is powered by two 5071 shaft horsepower PW 150A turboprop engines. Each engine drives a six bladed propeller. 2.0 Fire detection The fire protection system includes components throught the aeroplane to provide detection indication and fire extinguishing capabilities. The fire protection system provides fire detection and…
