Fusion in the sun ‚1 second ‚ 600 million tons of hydrogen are being converted into helium‚ this reaction releases tons amounts of heat and energy. The process of fusion in the sun is known as The proton chain. The sun starts with protons and through a series of steps ‚ it turns into helium. When this is happening something called plasma is being formed. Plasma is being ionized. The sun is so hot. Really hot but all of the heat and light coming from the sun comes from the fusion process happening

11 September‚ 2011 The Supernovae Over the past 1‚000 years‚ there have been six known supernovas in the Milky Way‚ the most recent of which discovered in 1604 by German Astronomer‚ Johannes Kepler‚ four years before the telescope was invented. In the sky‚ to the naked eye‚ it appears to be a new star. Modern technology‚ however‚ has pieced together a clearer image‚ “a bubble-shaped shroud of gas and dust‚ 14 light-years wide and expanding at 6 million kilometers per hour (4 million

The universe is a canvass of innumerable objects such as planets and stars. If you lay on your back on a warm summer night I would not doubt that you would be enchanted‚ enticed‚ and bewildered by the luster and mirth of all the stars you may even just wilt on the thought of how large they are. If you browse the sky regularly some notable features you you might know is the tactful North Star and the puny Little Dipper. Would you like to learn more about the unique characteristics of our galaxy and

in the following is Bi (Bismuth) because that element is broken down without its charge number. Boyle’s Law: Be able to apply Boyle’s Law to solve for either pressure or volume Ex: A sample of helium gas occupies 1245 mL at 705 mmHg. For a gas sample at constant temperature‚ determine the volume of helium at 745 mmHg. P1V1=P2V2 If the pressure goes down‚ the volume goes up. V2=P1V1/P2 P1=705 mmHg P2=745 mmHg V1= 1245 mL V2= (705)(1245)/745 877725/745=1179 mL=V2 Charles’ Law: Be able to apply

makes the Venusian day equal to 117 earth days. It is thought that this slow rotation may be the reason why Venus has no magnetic field. The atmosphere of Venus is made up of 98% carbon dioxide and 2% Nitrogen. This atmosphere also has the presence of helium‚ neon and argon. Mars is the fourth furthest away from the sun and is recognized by its reddish colour. Mars is also very much like the Earth. More than any other planet in the solar system‚ Mars has

On May 6‚ 1937‚ an explosion occurred at Lakehurst‚ New Jersey‚ one that will be forever known as the Hindenburg disaster and one that would put an end to the Zeppelin era. The Hindenburg was a zeppelin‚ or a large German dirigible airship‚ long and cylindrical in shape and with a rigid framework‚ that exploded killing 35 of the 97 passengers (Grossman). Zeppelins were used in World War Ⅰ for bombing‚ military observation of the enemies and their territories‚ and after the war ended‚ as passenger

that gravity was able to take hold and start clumping together clouds of hydrogen and helium gas. 380‚000 years after the Big Bang‚ the Universe was becoming an increasingly cold...if hydrogen and helium hadn’t clumped together‚ nothing would have ever happened ever again” (Green). The excerpt —in an astrophysicist perspective—begins to explicate part of how hydrogen and its light elemental counterpart‚ helium‚ created the Goldilocks conditions for new complexity in the universe thus supporting and
