Mercury : Due to mercury being extremely close to the sun‚ causes its planet to have no atmosphere. If any air was ever around Mercury‚ it would have been within its early years and from that point to now‚ it is gone because of all of the heat being given off of the sun. Mercury has crazy weather issues because of the lack of atmosphere‚ which includes a drastic weather change within day to night.Whenever the sun touches the surface of Mercury‚ that is when the climate reaches its highess at

his mother was the daughter of a wealthy Torun Frombork. Copernicus was one of four children having two sisters and one brother. In school‚ Nicolaus studied astronomy‚ but he focused on law and medicine. While he was studying law at a high level‚ he became very interested in astronomy. From then on he studied different theories in astronomy and even thought of a new idea himself. He had figured out his love‚ in life. (His only love‚ in fact‚ because he never got married.) For years‚ Copernicus

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher

Future Challenges to the Field of Professional Psychology As the field of psychology evolves with the changing of times‚ there are numerous challenges to be taken into consideration. One of the biggest challenges is the role changing from a mental health specialist to that of a primary health care provider and the expanding of that role to include psychopharmacology. “As a specialty profession of mental health care‚ we deal primarily with the people who self-identify as having psychological problems

PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor

Mayan Astronomy Who were the Mayans? The Mayans were part of the Mesoamerican civilization and they lived around 2‚000 BCE and lasted through to the time when the Spanish explorers arrived. From 250 CE – 900 CE was when they reached the peak of their development. They are well known for a fully developed written language‚ numerical system‚ mathematics‚ art‚ architecture and astronomy. Where did the Maya civilization thrive? They inhabited parts of Central

of Energy for the Earth‚ but it also emits many harmful rays towards us. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is very similar to visible light‚ but the ultraviolet region starts right after the violet end‚ hence‚ ultra”violet” rays. The UV radiation from the sun can be very hazardous to humans and all other living organisms. High exposure to UV radiation can cause melanomas as the UV rays can affect living organism as the molecular level. It has a frequency of 10^(-8) Just like most forms of electromagnetic

weathering is related to hydrolysis because the minerals are being turned into other substances. Oxygen is connected to chemical weathering because minerals that contain iron will turn brown over time when exposed to oxygen‚ this is called oxidation. Three factors that control the rate at which a rock weathers are surface exposure‚ composition of rock‚ and climate. The weathering process that takes place in a dry region and a humid region is that in a dry region‚ the wind and sand that are blowing on
