Solar activity has increased over the last century as evidenced by rising numbers and intensity of sunspots. Powerful coronal mass ejections, which are billion-tonne clouds of magnetized gas, regularly impact planets like Earth. This solar activity influences conditions in our solar system.

Closed and open system
Earth is an example of a nearly closed dynamic system. As a system, it exchanges heat but not matter across its boundaries. Solar and internal heat energy cause air, water and tectonic plates to move in patterns over time, driving processes like volcanism, earthquakes and shifting continents. Rivers are also examples of open dynamic systems, gaining water from the environment and flowing it towards the ocean in response to gravitational and solar energy inputs.
Júpiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, with a diameter 11 times that of Earth and a mass 318 times greater. It is made primarily of gases like hydrogen and helium and has a dynamic atmosphere with colorful bands and the famous Great Red Spot, a massive storm. Jupiter orbits the sun once every 12 years while rotating very quickly, completing a rotation in under 10 hours.

Climate Change
The document discusses the causes of climate change. It explains that the Earth's climate is regulated by a delicate balance between the sun's energy entering the atmosphere and energy being radiated back into space. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere naturally trap some of this outgoing heat, keeping global temperatures warm enough to support life. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels and increasing population sizes have dramatically altered this balance by increasing CO2 and other greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere in a way that is enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
The Enivronment Project
The document discusses the environment project created by The Environment Savers. It aims to raise awareness about conserving natural resources and protecting the Earth from issues like global warming. The project highlights potential threats like magnetic pole switching and the depletion of forests and resources. In 2010, Earth Hour encouraged people to turn off lights for one hour to save electricity, with an estimated savings at Changi Airport of 950 kilowatt hours per day. The document was created by a team of 6 people.
Air and energy issues student version
The document discusses several topics related to global warming and climate change:
1) Climate change has occurred naturally over the past million years, with temperatures varying by 0.5 degrees Celsius, but small changes can have large impacts.
2) The greenhouse effect is necessary for life on Earth and has existed as long as the atmosphere, trapping heat and maintaining temperatures around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than they would be otherwise.
3) The "grasshopper effect" describes how pollutants move from warmer to colder regions, tending to accumulate in polar regions where there is less evaporation.
Sunspots and Climate Change
The document discusses sunspots and their effect on climate change. It summarizes that the current solar cycle 24 is predicted to peak in 2013 with fewer sunspots than previous cycles. While the sun is the major energy source for the planet, recent research indicates no direct link between variations in the sun's output and accelerated global warming over the past 30 years. The implications of new understandings of solar luminosity change suggest brightening of the sun is unlikely to have significantly influenced global warming since the 17th century.

Gambar ice age
During an ice age, large ice sheets expand on Antarctica and glaciers grow globally. This causes sea levels to drop significantly as massive amounts of water are stored on land in the form of ice. An artist's impression depicts what Earth may have looked like during the peak of the last ice age with expanded ice sheets and lower sea levels than present.
Fast facts.ppt fisher
The Earth is composed of an inner solid iron core, outer liquid iron core, rocky mantle and thin rocky crust. It has a diameter of about 8,000 miles and rotates on its axis every 24 hours. The Earth revolves around the sun once every 365 days. It is approximately 93 million miles from the sun and has an atmosphere containing nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor. The Earth has one moon that lacks a magnetic field.

Is there life on the billions of exo-planets?
Moon
This document discusses the potential for returning to the Moon. It provides a brief geological history of the Moon's formation over billions of years. It then summarizes the exploration history by nations such as the US and USSR. Key reasons discussed for returning include using the Moon as a testing ground without an atmosphere and to collect more precise data. The document also discusses the potential resource of Helium-3 on the Moon which could be used for nuclear fusion energy production on Earth and represent a large economic return on investment for lunar missions.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System, with storms raging throughout its atmosphere for hundreds of years, including the Great Red Spot which is a giant storm larger than Earth. As a gas giant, Jupiter lacks a solid surface and its atmosphere gradually transitions to a liquid ocean of hydrogen and helium below.
Earth science 23.2
Mercury has the greatest temperature extremes of any planet, ranging from very hot during the day to very cold at night. Venus' surface is shaped by volcanic activity and tectonic forces, as evidenced by its low number of impact craters indicating recent geological activity. While Mars' atmosphere is thin, large dust storms occur with winds up to 270 km/hr that can last for weeks, possibly causing color changes seen from Earth.
Closed and open system in earth
Earth can be considered a system that exchanges both heat and matter with its surroundings, making it an open system. As an open system, Earth gains water and loses heat, though no new materials have entered since heavy meteorite bombardment ended 4 billion years ago. Solar and internal heat cause movement of air, water and shifting of continents through volcanism and earthquakes. Similarly, a river system gains water from rainfall and springs as an open system, with the sun providing its ultimate energy to power the cycle of evaporation and rain.
About sun
The document provides information about the sun, including that it contains 98% of the solar system's mass, its core temperature allows for nuclear fusion reactions, and this process converts hydrogen to helium and releases energy over millions of years to power the sun. Additional facts mentioned are that the sun is 50 times bigger than Earth, its outer atmosphere is cooler than its surface, and it contains the same elements as Earth.

Ta na-e-ka
Mary Whitebird is a young Kaw Indian girl who is dreading her upcoming TA-NA-E-KA ceremony at age 11, where boys prove themselves as warriors and girls take their first steps to womanhood. Her cousin Roger also does not want to participate. During training, their grandfather teaches them survival skills like how to eat grasshoppers. Mary gets an idea and borrows $5 from her teacher, planning to use it during the ceremony. On the day of TA-NA-E-KA, Mary and Roger go their separate ways in the woods wearing bathing suits. Mary's plan is to make her way to a marina on the river where she hopes to sleep on a boat, using the $5
Patriotism
Patriotism is showing love and respect for one's homeland through honest work and contributing to society's welfare. It means being proud of the country that gave you birth and its customs and traditions. People can develop patriotism by learning their country and state's history, helping those in need, defending human rights, and respecting national symbols. Practicing patriotism in the family involves respecting authority and parents, speaking positively of one's family, communicating in a beneficial way, and being friendly with neighbors.
