The Sun in a Net

The Sun, the closest star to Earth, and a life-sustaining necessity. It is also the center of space and solar weather, which powers and affects much of the solar system’s activities and life on Earth. Space weather goes hand in hand with the Sun’s constant gaseous activities, which depend on the Sun’s natural occurrences. This paper discusses the important topics of solar plasma, solar wind, as well as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It also looks at human abilities to capture and use…

At the distance the earth is from the sun, it has an irradiance of about 1370 Watts per square meter. Also statistically speaking, only about 70% of the energy that hits earth is absorbed. Therefore, the sun’s energy that enters earth’s atmosphere is around 960 Wm-2. Yet another factor is the fact that only a fourth of the earth’s surface area receives that load at any given time. That will then condense our Watts per square meter to 240. So the net incoming energy is 240 Wm-2. Now we need the…

gliding and bouncing over the dark murkey water for what felt like an eternity before I asked to my grandfather, “Are we there yet.” He replied with a firm “no, but we are getting close.” After that is starting to look out over the water, which the sun had been reflecting its rays of off it, and making it glisten like…

current from the flow of electrons and the voltage from the electric field make this power usable. There are various advantages in using this source of energy such as it is renewable as solar energy cannot run out, it will be present for as long as the sun is alive; this also means there and abundance of solar energy as…

High School Tennis Team The sun has just risen into the atmosphere where it creeps into the littlest openings of my worthless blinds. In my mind I feel a nuisance, a bothersome, due to the current deficiency of my restfulness. But I suppose that “everything in this life has a purpose” (Kübler-Ross). It was early on a Saturday morning; the weather was quite pleasant with the temperature ranging from the high sixties to the low seventies. I can feel the breeze coming from east carrying the…

motion of the planets, were quite different. Aristotle believed the universe never had a beginning and would never end; he believed it was eternal. Kepler’s view on gravity and motion was that the planets orbited around the sun and orbits faster the closer it becomes to the sun. Galileo believed if something started at the same speed, the speed will stay constant. As Galileo, Aristotle, and Kepler were all great scientist, there was another scientist who was known to be the greatest in the…

system can distribute heat more effectively throughout a dwelling because of its pumps and fans,” (Mongillo 42). The Active Solar Heating System requires three difficult solar subsystem steps that explain the process of how to convert energy from the sun in the simplest form (Mongillo 41). The Active and Passive Solar Heating systems have many tools that are involved in the long process, but a solar photovoltaic cell helps to speed up the process (Mongillo 41). Another type of energy device is…

The bright sun was beating down on my face as I squinted to see the score. 9-9 with a minute left in the game. I was wearing my low cut tank top with a number sixty-six on the back and my black kilt with a Bethel Park hawk on the lower right. My white cleats were stained from the freshly cut grass and I had a bruise on my right knee from falling down. I looked through the grey metal cage of my face mask and bit down on my mouthguard determined to win the game. Being the oldest person on a team…

The plants were collected using aquatic nets, shovels, and by hand. The plants collected was then put into a bucket or bag and was label with the collection site and the date with a sharpie. If buckets was a storage for plants then a couple of inches of water was added. Once the plants were collected they were not exposed to the sun because they could desiccate. All storage containers for the plants were sealed secure before leaving the collection site. Forty five clean buckets were labeled…

looking up for Minny. 8. Memphis Grizzlies - The Grizzlies are bringing back a similar roster with some big additions. However, they’re playing in a stacked Western Conference, so the race for the 8th spot will be tight. ————————— 9. Phoenix Suns - The Suns have been rebuilding since last making the playoffs in 2010. With a young, hungry squad, they should be back to their winning ways in no time. 10. Dallas Mavericks - This Mavericks have come a long way since their 2011 title. Dirk…
