soil will vary geographically and at different soil depths. Moisture content changes seasonally‚ varies according to the nature of the sub layers of earth‚ and the depth of the permanent water table. Since soil and water are generally more stable at deeper strata‚ it is recommended that the ground rods be placed as deep as possible into the earth‚ at the water table if possible. Also‚ ground rods should be installed where there is a stable temperature‚ i.e. below the frost line. For a grounding

new perspective on our solar system‚ by being able to view how nature works outside of our own planet. Earth is a unique planet. So unique that our technology today has not discovered any other planets or satellites that could sustain human life. The earths atmosphere is composed of about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen however‚ space exploration might lead to a discovery of a similar planet to escape the depletion of our atmosphere. Technology in our current generation is ever changing
