The light we see from the sun is not exactly the light that comes to the earth from the sun. We see sunlight as being whitish in color, but it actually is a blend of the colors of the rainbow. The reason we see it this way has to do with the way our eyes perceive color. This is because, “Our eye contains three kinds of light-sensitive cells, each sensing a different band of colors--one band centered in the red, one in the green and one in the blue” (“(S-4) The Many Colors of Sunlight,” 2006).…

atmosphere. Is global warming happening? Well, literally it is, but I think the earth goes through it because of the different components of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is composed of layers that include from the lowest to the highest, troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere. Because of these layers greenhouse gases are trapped on earth, and when enough emissions build up in the atmosphere, things like aerosols start to create a cloud in the troposphere that is like a blanket…

Global Warming: A new epidemic? Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. This global Warming is changing the earth slowly but might make drastic changes to our everyday life. There are many factors causing global warming, the effects could be devastating, and society needs to care more about this and do something…

The changes vary across the Arctic; the largest decreases occur in maritime regions of the Arctic (Alaska, northern Scandinavia, and the Pacific coast region of Russia) [8]. Climate model projections indicate decreases in the duration of snow cover of 10 to 20% over most of the Arctic by 2050 and Scandinavia will experience the most loss (around 30 to 40%) [2]. 2.4 Temperature Average Arctic temperatures have increased at almost twice the global average rate in the past 100 years according to…

charged and increase in temperature, but because they are scattered and not packed in tightly they are unable to transfer the heat, The next bottom ;layer is the middle layer known as the “mesosphere” where all the gasses are mixed , followed by the stratosphere that contains the very well known ozone that captures intense UV Rays from the sun which protects our atmosphere known as the troposphere. Within the troposphere the weather and temperature is constantly changing and contains ¾ of the…

they had no reason to think otherwise until “great” thinkers like Pythagoras stated otherwise. Today we know that the earth is round, but, how do we really know? An everyday human being has not been to the moon, has not even been outside of the stratosphere. So how can one say for sure that the earth is a spinning ball? Starting in the 19th century people started to ask these exact questions which lead to Zetetic Astronomy or more commonly known as the Flat Earth Theory. As people started to…
