When the moon is aligned with the sun, spring tides are created making the high tides more dramatic. This usually occurs during a new moon and full moon. When the moon is not aligned with the sun, the tides become less dramatic becoming neap tides. The image below shows the relationship between the moon and the earth’s ocean tides. The moon also affects the length of day.
Yes, the sun does spin, or rotate. Because it is a gas, it does not rotate like a solid. The sun actually spins faster at its equator than at its poles. There is no fixed rate of rotation of the Sun, on its own axis. At the equator, the Sun's rotation period is 25.05 days.
Tides are daily movements of ocean water that change the level of the ocean's surface.The tides are caused by the exertion of gravitational forces by the moon and sun, and the rotation of the Earth. The relationship between the phases of the moon and the tides was first discovered more than 2,000 years ago by Pytheas, a Greek explorer. However, Pytheas could not explain the reasons behind the relationship. It was not until Sir Isaac Newton published his theories on gravitational pull in 1687 that the relationship between the moon and tides were fully understood. Gravitational forces from both the sun and moon continuously pull on the Earth.
Although very thin, Mercury’s atmosphere is made up of trace amounts of gasses including 42% Oxygen, 29% Sodium, 22% Hydrogen, 6% Helium, and 0.5% Potassium. Mercury’s location in the solar system makes it difficult at best to hold at atmosphere as it is in such close proximity to the sun. The atmosphere would only be there for a short amount of time before being blasted off my solar winds, meteoroid bombardment and outgassing (the gas escapes into the
4 outer planets become large enough to accrete dust and gas forming gas giants or 2.. instabilities in the cooler region of solar system cause a collapse of initial interstellar cloud. Random: Kuiper Belt lie beyond Neptune, close to ecliptic, also where most comets(originate from oort cloud) orbit. denser planets are closer to sun, Saturn can float, in differentiated bodies denser materials lie near core, density=mass/volume. Auroral happens due to solar winds displaced poleward by magnetic field. Deepest depression= Mare Crisium on moon.
Stars do not appear during the daylight because of Sun. The reason why the Star's shine is the fusion reactions.The mass density ratio of interstellar dust to neutral hydrogen is simply proportional to the observed dust to gas ratio. (Pei, 1991). The Star's age, mass, chemical composition is determined with Star's shine. The mass of a Star determined the Star's development and time of death.
It is often difficult to find an exceptionless regularity because there could always be a circumstance under which the law does not hold true. To see why, suppose I am observing the moon’s orbit around the earth and I see that the course is the same each orbit. I believe I have found an exceptionless regularity. Imagine that a meteor was to collide with the moon, and slightly change its course. All of a sudden, the moon no longer follows the same course each orbit.
Writing in the journal Nature, David Charbonneau at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics describes how his team used a suite of eight amateur-sized telescopes to spot the planet as it moved across the face of its star, which is less than 0.5% as bright as our own sun. The telescopes picked up a slight dimming in light from the star as the waterworld, named GJ1214b, passed in front of it every 1.6 days. The planet has a radius 2.7 times as large as the
Phobos will eventually crash into Mars or break up and form a ring around the planet. Deimos (which means fear) was named after the Greek God Deimos who was the twin brother of Phobos. Deimos is the outer moon so it is further away from Mars and takes about 30 hours to orbit. It is small and lumpy and has lots of craters and is covered in dust and loose rocks. Although it has many craters it’s surface is much smoother than Phobos’ Deimos has an average radius of 6.2
Telescopes helped discover many new planets and asteroids which ultimately led to the theory of the speed of light, Telescopes have helped astronomers understand gravity and its role on the Earth (Mason, 2008). With further viewing from the telescope it also showed us that light here on earth radiates from our Sun and all the other stars in our universe. Had we not have had the telescopes we would still be very behind on research of all the planets which are not accessible by any human or machine to this day. In the very early ages of human life the earth and world was viewed much differently mainly ruled by religion and the views of religion. People were less educated and much easier to be controlled.
