instances where gravity and its properties were relevant. The five main topics I have chosen I feel are the easiest to explain and understand. The first is the requirements of liftoff and how the astronauts will experience g forces. Next is coming into earth and how they will have to calculate the angle and speed at which they will have to re-enter at. Third I talk about the simulator and how it prepares them for conditions in outer space. Fourth I talk about the Orange drink floating around in the space

It is because the Earth is rotating on its axis that we see the sun and stars move across the arc of the sky. Motion - it’s everywhere in the universe. Nothing is really standing still. We humans ride on a sphere that spins on an axis as it revolves around a star‚ a rotating star in orbit with 100 billion other stars in a whirling galaxy that’s moving over 1 million kilometers an hour in an expanding universe. Some of this motion can be viewed over the course of a few minutes‚ and some requires

It is argued by many scientists that over time humans have changed the earth to such a degree that we are now in a new geological period. These geographical periods are separate phases of time in the past and present used to contrast the differing geographical conditions on earth over time and suggest when and why they have changed. The Anthropocene is believed by many scientists to be “the current epoch in which humans and our societies have become a global geophysical force” (Steffen et al.‚ 2007)

counter-clockwise. The phases are usually caused by the shadow and light of the Earth and Sun. The Moon has another name as well. The second name for the Moon is luna. The Moon is earth’s only natural satellite that was formed about 4.6 billion years ago.The same side of the Moon is always facing the earth. This basically means that the Moon is synchronous with the Earth. Many of the Moon phases are formed by the shadow of the Earth falling

answers. There are debates on whether or not this science is really necessary when there are many important issues needing attention on Earth. People try to notice all of the issues that face today’s society and use those as primary reasons for collecting funds. Imagine looking down on the Earth from the galaxy. The issues between people appear large while on Earth‚ but‚ in reality‚ they are just a spec from the universe above. People forget the immense scientific discoveries and innovations brought

distances in km is inconvenient. - We need much BIGGER units of distance: • Some commonly used distance units: 1 ly (light year) = Distance traveled by light in 1 year = 9.46 trillion km 1 AU (astronomical unit) = average distance between the Sun & Earth = 150 million km A unit of distance‚ not time. Often confused because of Suppose we define the unit: “a day’s drive”. Say we drive 100km/hr The light year and we are prepared to drive for 8 hours in one day. What distance can we travel in that

The Population Explosion is the sequel to the Population Bomb and examines the effects of overpopulation in modern society. The book is structured like the Population Bomb‚ but synthesizes the arguments and historiographical styles from Earth. Ehrlich defines over population as the amount of people in an area relative to resources and capacity of environment to sustain human activities. Through The Population Explosion Ehrlich focuses on the impact humans make on the environment and how

to know about the core of the Earth? Well if you do‚ watching the movie The Core is definitely not the place to find out about this information. The movie is inaccurate about a variety of things such as the formation of the mantle‚ the location of certain places on earth‚ the temperature of the earths interior and so on. The Core also shows many unrealistic events‚ such as the earth loosing its magnetic field in a year and lasers being able to burn through the earth (where would they get the energy
