Ultraviolet Radiation Ozone Layer
1,027 words
Greenhouse Effect On a bright, cool day, most
people notice the sun's rays as feeling good on
their skin. By nature, many of us even try to stay
on the sunny side of the street while walking. The
sun is 93 million miles away from earth and its
energy travels to us in moving waves called
radiation. The energy becomes heat, light and
other energy too. Visible sunlight allows us to
see the world around us, but there is invisible
sunlight, too. These rays can't be seen, but some
can be felt as heat....

Speed Of Light Time Of Day
1,333 words
Our view of the sky at night is possible because
of the emission and reflection of light. 'Light'
is the better-known term for the electromagnetic
spectrum, which includes waves in the visible,
ultra-violet, infra-red, microwave, radio, X-ray
and gamma-ray regions. The scale of the spectrum
is so large that no region is distinct, several
overlap each other. Each of these regions in the
electromagnetic spectrum represent transverse
waves, travelling as electrical and magnetic
fields which interac...

Life On Mars Washington D C

If life ever evolved on any of the other planets,
Mars is the likeliest candidate. After Earth, Mars
is the planet with the most hospitable climate in
the solar system. So hospitable that it may once
have inhabited primitive, bacteria-like life.
Outflow channels and other geologic features
provide extensive evidence that billions of years
ago liquid water flowed on the surface of Mars.
Continuing changes is an accomplishment in modern
American technology and it gives the world a step

Left Hand Side Atmospheric Pressure

Chemistry Independent Study: Gas Laws Since the
days of Aristotle, all substances have been
classified into one of three physical states. A
substance having a fixed volume and shape is a
solid. A substance, which has a fixed volume but
not a fixed shape, is a liquid; liquids assume the
shape of their container but do not necessarily
fill it. A substance having neither a fixed shape
nor a fixed volume is a gas; gases assume both the
shape and the volume of their container. The

Carbon Dioxide Directly Proportional

... le then existed he could not, and did not,
determine the relationship between degree of
hotness (temperature) and volume of a gas
quantitatively. (Siebring, Richard, Page 32)
Guillaume Amontons (d. 1705) developed the air
thermometer, which uses the increase in the volume
of a gas with temperature rather than the volume
of a liquid. The air thermometer is an excellent
demonstration of Charles' law because the
atmosphere maintains a fixed downward pressure
above a small mercury plug of consta...

STARS A star is a large celestial body composed of
gravitationally contained hot gases giving off
electromagnetic radiation, especially light. The
sun is actually a star. Unlike the sun the stars
seem to be fixed, but in fact stars are in rapid
motion, but their distances are so great no
relative changes can be seen with the naked eye.
The sun is a typically star, with a visible
surface called a photosphere, which an atmosphere
of hot gases, and above them an outlawing stream
of particles called...

Planning In this investigation I will be burning
alcohols to heat up a beaker of water. I will be
burning five alcohols, methanol, ethanol,
propanol, butanol and pentanol. The aim is to find
out how much energy is produced when burning these
alcohols. An alcohol is a series of organic
homologous compounds, with the general formula Cn
H n + 1 OH´ . Alcohols react with oxygen in
the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The
reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is

5 Billion Dollars Angular Momentum
934 words
What is a hurricane? A hurricane is a tropical
cyclone that has a maximum sustained wind of at
least 75 mph. The primary energy source for
tropical cyclones is the latent heat released when
water vapor condenses. Only extremely moist air
can supply the energy necessary to spawn and
maintain tropical storms, and only very warm air
contains enough moisture. Tropical cyclones,
therefore, form only over oceans with water
temperatures of at least 80 deg F. After they have
formed, such storms tend to ...

instruments. The Milky Way Galaxy consists of at

hot gases. The sun is a star, but it is not the
largest star; it is only the nearest star. A star
has three recognizable stages: its birth; the
years in which it exists; and its death. Its
formation and its life expectancy have captured
the curiosity of astronomers for centuries.
