The Kuiper Belt The Kuiper Belt is a thick ecliptic band which contains over 200 million small‚ icy objects. These objects‚ known as the Kuiper Belt Objects or trans- Neptunians‚ were discovered in 1992 by Jewitt and Lu. The first Kuiper Belt Object discovered in 1992‚ is QB1 (1992) and is 150 miles wide. The Kuiper Belt is about 30 AU to 50 AU away from the Sun. The Kuiper Belt is very important because of two specific things; the first being‚ Kuiper Belt Objects are remnants from the earliest

The Arctic Circle is located at a latitude of 66 degrees 33 feet 39 inches North. The problem with this statement is the actual latitude of the Arctic Circle is continuously changing due to the tilt of the Earth. It is important to maximize your sample size when developing a predictive model like the height and shoe length model we explored in the Experimental Laboratory 1. What is the purpose of a large sample size? A large sample size provides the scientist with a more accurate representation

The Impact of Aerosols on Solar Ultraviolet Radiation and Photochemical Smog R. R. Dickerson*‚ S. Kondragunta‚ G. Stenchikov‚ K. L. Civerolo‚ B. G. Doddridge‚ B. N. Holben ABSTRACT Photochemical smog‚ or ground-level ozone‚ has been the most recalcitrant of air pollution problems‚ but reductions in emissions of sulfur and hydrocarbons may yield unanticipated benefits in air quality. While sulfate and some organic aerosol particles scatter solar radiation back into space and can cool Earth ’s

PVSyst TUTORIAL STAND ALONE SOLAR PV SYSTEM What is a stand alone solar system? This is a type of system which is not connected to electric grid. We have a PV array to convert sunlight into electricity and then we store this energy in a battery as chemical energy. This stored energy is then utilized when needed. This system is also known as off-grid system. What are the components of stand alone system? We will take a look at the processes involved. We have to convert sunlight into electricity

before the Ice age‚ continents ice free at the poles enhanced the reabsorption of carbon dioxide through erosion of silicate minerals‚ reducing the greenhouse effect making the earth colder until it reached a runaway point. This effect is Hoffman calls albedo‚ when the atmosphere becomes so cold it can never warm up again. This is what occurred during the ice age‚ until volcano activity saturated the atmosphere with carbon dioxide to a point that it trapped radiation from the Sun and rewarmed the climate

chemistry. At age 13 a catastrophe hit majority of food crops in the northern hemisphere were destroyed by a volcanic winter. (reduction of global temperatures due to volcanic ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscuring the sun and raising the earth’s albedo increasing the reflection of solar radiation) germany was among the hardest hit in this global famine. This experience is said to have shaped liebig’s later work. Liebig made great innovations to fertilizer and agriculture and thanks to him the 1816
