century astronomers. Celsius went on an expedition with the French astronomer Maupertuis. The expedition was to measure the length of a degree along a meridian‚ close to the pole‚ and compare the result with a similar expedition to Peru near the equator. The expedition established Newton’s belief that the shape of the earth is an ellipsoid flattened at the poles. Anders‚ although an astronomer‚ participated in the geographical measurements for the Swedish General map. What he is known for today

The Nile was the center of Ancient Egypt. It was the reason the Egyptians developed the civilization. The areas surrounding Egypt are desert land. The Nile keeps it fertile. “It rises south of the Equator and flows northward through northeastern Africa to drain into the Mediterranean Sea‚” said Charles Smith‚ “It has a length of about 4‚132 miles (6‚650 kilometres) and drains an area estimated at 1‚293‚000 square miles (3‚349‚000 square kilometres).”(britannica.com) The Nile river actually has 2

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of life on Earth‚ a closed (apart from solar and cosmic radiation)‚ and self-regulating system.[1] From the broadest biophysiologicalpoint of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis

above 5. If the plane of the Earth’s equator were not tilted with respect to the ecliptic plane‚ a) there would be no seasons on Earth b) the amount of daylight would be the same everyday c) the Earth’s polar icecaps would have never formed d) none of the above 6. According to the heliocentric model‚ the reason the planets always appear to be near the ecliptic is that a) the ecliptic is only 23.5 degrees from the celestial equator b) the planets revolve around

satellites: Satellites used to assist in telecommunication. Most communications satellites use geosynchronous orbits (orbits having the same length of time needed to complete one orbit as Earth) or near-geostationary orbits (circular orbits above Earth’s equator). These satellites are largely responsible for the transmission of television and radio signals. Earth observation satellites: Satellites made to observe Earth from its orbit for uses
