HOW DO SUNSPOTS AFFECT US ON EARTH?? Sunspots usually travel in connected pairs. The surface of the sun can reveal small dark areas that vary in numbers and location. Sunspots even tend to cluster in bands above and below the equator. Sunspots are darker than the rest of the sun because they are lower in temperature and release less energy than the areas surrounding them. Sunspots largest number recorded is about 200. Sunspots last for several days. Even though the largest ones can last for so many

program. The purpose of the program was to place an Italian satellite in orbit and to create an Italian equatorial launch site for the Scout rocket. Permission was obtained from Kenya to emplace two modified oil platforms off their coast‚ on the equator. The Santa Rita platform would serve as a launch control center and would also be used for launch of sounding rockets. The San Marco platform would be dedicated to launch of Scout rockets to orbit.

knowledge of hurricanes. These storms require four conditions one of them is a low air pressure and another one is warm temperatures. The other two are moist ocean air and tropical winds (near the equator). Hurricanes form in the tropics over warm ocean water with an average temperature of 27 Celsius near the equator. They start out as a tropical wave. When warm‚ moist air rises and the cold air switch places with the warm air it creates a tropical disturbance. A tropical disturbance produces strong gusty
