The Sun

The Sun is a massive, white ball of gas that fuels the solar system. Without it, life wouldn’t be able to survive on earth. It has lived for billions of years, providing energy and light. Nothing can live without it. The Sun, which is also called Sol, is estimated to be 4.6 billion years old with up to five billion years left in its life. It is currently in its yellow dwarf phase of life. It is located in the Milky Way galaxy in a spiral arm known as the Orion Arm. The Sun orbits the center of…

South America. The mask that I picked is the Inca Sun God Mask, another name to call the mask is Inti. It is used during ceremonies, to worship the sun. I picked this mask because it caught my attention by its shiny gold. The mask is very irregular by the shape of its face.

nearly circular orbit around the sun, it maintains a constant axial tilt of 23.4 degrees. This tilt causes the proximity of the northern and southern hemispheres of the globe to change during its annual trip around our local star. These changes in proximity and their impact on the amount of solar energy received by the northern and southern hemispheres are what causes the Earth to have seasons. As the incline of Earth’s axis brings the northern hemisphere closer to the sun during the planet’s…

With the help of Tycho Brahe's observations, Kepler discovered that the orbits of the planets can be described with a curve. By trial and error, he discovered that an ellipse with the sun could accurately describe the path of a planet about the sun. Ellipses (which does not look like the usual circle, but as an egg) is described mainly by the length of its two axes. A circle has the same diameter if we measure it across or up and down. However, an ellipse has diameters of different lengths. The…

What is the solar system? The solar system is the what we call home, it is the collection of the eight planets and their moons. These celestial objects orbit around the sun, although this was not always the case back in 140 AD Claudius Ptolemy contemplated with the idea or theory of a geocentric universe. The literal definition of geocentrism is having the earth as the center of the universe and the at the other celestial objects orbiting the earth. Theses celestial objects are called planets.…

In Ray Bradbury’s story, All Summer in a Day, he alludes to the theme that…

it rains all day long and there is never any sun to be seen, whereas, on Earth, the sun was almost always visible. This change causes Margot to only want to see the sun even more. Her classmates had lived on Venus their whole lives, and the sun only comes out every seven years. This year, though, was the year the sun was going to come out. One theme that this text suggests is that people --out of jealousy--…

experience with the sun separates her from the rest of her peers, for they have forgotten about the warmth of the sun. This fact makes the kids turn against her and lock her in a closet as the sun peers out for the two hours that margot is in there. Margot is always the odd one out with her longing for the sun. When happiness is taken away, people focus on what they don't have instead of what they do, this can separate someone from a group and affect them negatively. Margot misses the sun more…
