Space Junk
Unwanted junk accumulates in space from broken pieces of satellites, space probes, and other debris, forming a growing problem of space junk orbiting Earth. Over 9,000 pieces of space junk are the size of a tennis ball or larger, moving at speeds up to 36,000 km/hr. The issue of space junk was first discovered after the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and it is estimated that over 4 million pounds of garbage circles our planet.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is known as the "Red Planet". It has two moons called Phobos and Deimos. The document provides an introduction to Mars, discussing its location between Earth and Jupiter. Details are given about its two small moons, including Phobos' high orbital speed. Additional facts mentioned include Mars having a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere, being colder than Earth, and its year lasting 685 days on Earth. Sources consulted are listed at the end.
light :phenomenons of light
Polar stratospheric clouds exist very high in the atmosphere and only form in the winter at high latitudes when temperatures drop low enough for ice crystals to form, appearing colorful at sunrise and sunset. A moonbow is a faint rainbow produced by moonlight instead of sunlight that is usually white instead of colored due to the faint light. Green flashes can sometimes be seen on the top or bottom of the sun as it rises or sets due to the refraction of light through the atmosphere.
Text explanation How Rainbow Formed
The document discusses how rainbows are formed. Rainbows are an optical phenomenon that occurs naturally in the Earth's atmosphere when sunlight interacts with water droplets, typically in the sky after it rains. The colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet - correspond to the different wavelengths of light. Red appears outermost in the rainbow because it has the longest wavelength. A rainbow forms when sunlight enters and reflects off the inside surfaces of raindrops, undergoing one internal reflection and refracting at two surfaces before leaving the raindrop and reaching the observer's eye.
Exam questions for lesson 5
This document contains 47 exam questions about the atmosphere and atmospheric phenomena. The questions cover topics such as the composition of the atmosphere, the layers of the atmosphere including the troposphere and stratosphere, atmospheric gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, processes like photosynthesis and evaporation, atmospheric pressure, temperature regulation by the atmosphere, wind and weather phenomena like clouds and precipitation, climate and weather, and instruments used to measure atmospheric conditions. The document aims to test understanding of the key components and functions of the atmosphere.
Finding Neptune Physics Q3 Bench Jmcleod
John Couch Adams used his mathematical skills and telescope late one night to discover the planet Neptune. By comparing star maps and journals, he noticed an unknown blue mass in the sky. Through careful tracking of this object over time and using his knowledge of planetary perturbations, he correctly deduced it was a new planet, Neptune. He then shared his findings with other professors, helping to confirm his important astronomical discovery through collaboration. His example shows that individuals can make significant scientific contributions through diligent work and reasoning skills.
Eclipses
The document discusses different types of solar and lunar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular solar eclipses and penumbral, partial, and total lunar eclipses. It provides examples of quotes from historical accounts of eclipses dating back to 1375 BC and explanations of why the moon appears red during a lunar eclipse and the different parts of an eclipse shadow.

1. This will be the first total solar eclipse visible in the US in 38 years, with the last one only visible in parts of 5 northwestern states.
2. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on Earth and blocking the Sun's light.
3. Interesting changes will be visible as the eclipse progresses, with shadows sharpening as the eclipse reaches totality.
Chapter11sct1 part1
Stars form within cold, dark clouds of gas and dust scattered throughout the galaxy. The space between stars is filled with a thin, interstellar gas and dust that forms nebulae. Emission nebulae emit their own light and are found near hot, luminous O and B type stars, while dark nebulae are opaque and block light from stars behind them.
Black hole by Mubashar Mughal
This document provides a summary of the history and research around black holes. It discusses how black holes were first theorized in the 18th century and key developments in the 20th century like Einstein's theory of general relativity and Stephen Hawking proving black holes have increasing surface areas. Notable black hole observations are mentioned from 2002 onward. The document then defines what a black hole is, how they are classified, and describes their key parts like the singularity, event horizon, and accretion disk. It discusses how black holes form from massive stars and ends by thanking the audience.
Solar And Lunar
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes between a source of light and another, blocking the light. There are two types of eclipses: solar eclipses, where the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses, where the earth passes between the moon and sun. The moon's shadow during a solar eclipse has two parts - the penumbra, where a partial eclipse can be seen, and the umbra, where a total eclipse occurs.
Solar and lunar eclipses
A "lunar eclipse" and a "solar eclipse" refer to events involving three celestial bodies: the Sun ("solar"), the moon ("lunar"), and the Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.

This document summarizes a presentation titled "BIS 402 : LIFE BEYOND EARTH - First Contact – Discovery of Life Elsewhere 16 October 2018". The presentation discusses how Earth and our solar system have many unique characteristics that make life possible, such as Earth being the right distance from the sun, the stabilizing presence of Jupiter, and the size and orbit of the moon. It also discusses how exoplanets like those in the TRAPPIST-1 system or Jupiter's moon Europa may host life. The presenters aim to discuss first contact with life in a positive way and explore potential places life could exist beyond Earth.
The Dwarf Planets
Dwarf planets are round celestial bodies that orbit the sun but are not large enough to clear their orbital path of other objects. The five largest known dwarf planets are Pluto, Sedna, Eris, Orcus, and Makemake. Pluto was the first dwarf planet discovered and used to be considered the smallest planet, but is now classified as a dwarf planet along with other small solar system bodies that meet certain criteria.
Solar system
This document provides an overview of the solar system, including its formation over 4.6 billion years ago with one star (the Sun) and eight known planets along with hundreds of smaller planets and asteroids. It describes each planet's key characteristics such as Mercury being the smallest terrestrial planet with no atmosphere or moons. Earth is the only planet that supports life and has one moon, while Mars has a thin atmosphere and two small moons. The outer gas giants include Jupiter, the largest planet composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, Saturn with its prominent ring system and 62 moons, Uranus which was discovered in the 19th century and rotates parallel to the solar plane, and Neptune with its blue atmosphere due to methane
Eclipses
1) Eclipses occur when one celestial body blocks the light from another. Lunar eclipses happen during a full moon when the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. Solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the moon passes between the Earth and sun.
2) There are three types of lunar eclipses - total, partial, and penumbral - and three types of solar eclipses - total, partial, and annular.
3) Eclipses do not occur every month because the moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. Lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses.
Eclipses
The document discusses eclipses of the sun and moon through various quotes and descriptions. It provides background on solar eclipses, noting that there are three types - annular, partial and total - and details like their frequency and visibility. It also covers lunar eclipses and explains why the moon appears red during an eclipse due to atmospheric filtering of light. Upcoming eclipses are listed, though none will be fully visible from the location.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium gases and has 67 known moons. Some key facts about Jupiter include that it is located about 750 million km from the sun, has a rocky core below its compressed hydrogen layers, and has four largest moons called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto that vary in size and orbital characteristics. NASA has explored Jupiter since the 1970s through missions like Pioneer, Voyager, and Galileo to learn more about its rings, moons, and composition.
Wonders Of The Sky 2009 Dark Sky 02
The document provides an overview of various night sky wonders including stars, planets, meteors, comets, auroras, airglow, the Milky Way galaxy, and light pollution. Key points include that stars twinkle due to atmospheric distortion, meteor showers occur when Earth passes through debris trails left by comets, and the aurora borealis results from interactions between the solar wind and Earth's atmosphere. Major celestial objects visible to the naked eye like the Beehive Cluster, Pleiades, Double Cluster, Andromeda Galaxy, and Orion Nebula are also highlighted.
Wonders Of The Sky 2009 Sunset Sky
The document discusses various optical phenomena that can be observed in sunrises and sunsets. It explains how the setting or rising sun may appear oval-shaped or broken into layers due to atmospheric effects. Other topics covered include green flashes, crepuscular rays, volcanic sunsets, the earth's shadow, moonrises, harvest moons, and rocket contrails visible at sunset.
Moon, Sun, And Seasons
The document discusses how the height of the sun and moon in the sky changes with the seasons. It provides data on the noon altitude of the sun and maximum altitude of the moon every few days for one year. The data is to be graphed to show the seasonal patterns, with the full moon's behavior mirroring the sun's. Analysis questions examine when the sun and moon appear at the same altitude, how new moons relate to the sun, and what seasons are best for seeing low, orange "honeymoon" full moons.

Sect 9.2
The document summarizes key concepts about the sun-earth-moon system:
1) The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it revolves around Earth, so the same side always faces Earth.
2) It takes the moon 29.5 days to rotate on its axis and revolve around Earth.
3) The moon's most obvious effect on Earth is ocean tides.
4) The document defines new and full moons and the phases of the moon. Eclipses occur when the sun or moon are blocked by Earth or the moon.
Lunar Phases
1) The document is about the phases of the moon and provides information about the moon's orbit and appearance at different times of the month.
2) It explains that the moon's phases are caused by the changing position of the moon in its orbit around Earth and the varying amounts of sunlight that reach the moon's surface.
3) Activities and diagrams are included to demonstrate the different moon phases and how the illuminated portion changes over the course of a month as the moon orbits Earth.
Standard Indicator Project[1]
The document discusses the sun and its daily movement across the sky. It describes how the sun appears to rise and set each day due to the Earth's rotation. Activities are presented where students observe and track the sun's changing position using a model to represent how different parts of Earth experience day and night throughout the rotation.
Seasons Review Questions (NB p.38-39)
The document discusses the causes of seasons on Earth. It explains that Earth's 23.5 degree tilt on its axis, combined with its revolution around the sun, causes the sun's rays to strike different parts of the planet more directly at different times of year. This results in varying lengths of daylight and temperatures throughout the year, dividing the year into four seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall. The document answers questions about the timing and durations of seasons in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Solar System
The document is about the solar system and beyond. It discusses topics like the seasons on Earth, phases of the moon, eclipses, the order of planets in the solar system, and galaxies. It contains information about how we see objects in space, the difference between luminous and non-luminous objects, and provides a quiz about the solar system.
Moon Phases Stations Lab
The document describes the phases of the moon and lunar calendar. It explains that the moon revolves around Earth once every 29.5 days, going through phases from new moon to full moon and back again. During a new moon, the dark side faces Earth so we cannot see the illuminated portion. As the moon orbits, we see less than half illuminated as a crescent moon, then exactly half illuminated at the quarter moon phase.
Eye in the Sky
The document explains why the sky appears blue during the day and red at sunrise and sunset by describing how sunlight interacts with Earth's atmosphere. Shorter blue and violet wavelengths of light scatter more through the atmosphere, making the sky appear blue. At low sun angles like sunrise and sunset, light must pass through more atmosphere, scattering away the blue light and leaving the longer red wavelengths to reach our eyes and make the sky appear red.

Ch.19 Notes Mc Neely 2009
1. Air pressure is caused by the weight of air above exerting pressure in all directions, and differences in air pressure cause wind as air moves from high to low pressure areas.
2. Global wind patterns are caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes large scale rising and sinking of air and the formation of circulation cells.
3. Local winds like sea breezes and valley winds are caused by smaller scale differences in air pressure caused by uneven heating of land and water areas.
Wonders Of The Sky 2009 Eclipses
There are two types of eclipses: solar eclipses which occur when the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses which occur when the earth passes between the sun and moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon can block all, some, or none of the sun, resulting in total, partial, or annular eclipses. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun, briefly turning day to night, while partial eclipses only block part of the sun. Lunar eclipses occur during a full moon when the earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, causing it to take on a red color from the sunlight bending through the earth's atmosphere.
Wonders Of The Sky 2009 Day Sky

Students are asked questions about changes of state, cloud formation mechanisms, cloud classification, and types of precipitation to test their understanding of these atmospheric water concepts.
Time And Calendars 2009
The document discusses various units of time including days, months, years and their astronomical origins. It describes solar and sidereal time and how precession causes the constellations to change position relative to the seasons. Standard time zones were established in the late 19th century to accommodate railroad schedules. Sundials are among the earliest timekeeping devices and use shadows to indicate local apparent time. The modern Gregorian calendar improved on the Julian calendar by more accurately accounting for the tropical year.
Seasons Interactive
The document describes an interactive simulation that models the relationship between Earth's position relative to the sun throughout the year and the resulting seasonal changes in temperature and daylight hours in four cities located in different hemispheres. Students are asked to use the simulation to collect monthly temperature and daylight data for each city, create line graphs to visualize the patterns, and then answer questions about the seasonal changes and how they relate to each city's location and proximity to the equator or tropics.
Ch.17 Notes Mc Neely 2009
The document discusses key topics about Earth's atmosphere including its composition, structure, and factors that influence climate. It describes the four main layers of the atmosphere - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere - and explains how temperature varies within each layer. Additionally, it covers how Earth's orientation and motions affect seasonal changes in temperature and daylight hours at different latitudes. Climate is influenced by proximity to oceans and seas, elevation, cloud cover, and other geographic factors.
