Sunspots Essay

B. Why is it colder at the poles than at the equator? The reason why is because the Sun’s rays hit those areas with the least amount of rays. They are also faced away from the sun the most compared the other areas meaning they will get the least of the Sun’s rays.

The book Copper Sun by Sharon Draper is a historical story about slavery. Amari, the main character, was taken from her village to become a slave. Amari´s whole family was killed with many of the other people from her village Ziavi when the slave traders came into Ziavi. She was happy in her village before she was taken. Her journey to get to her final destination was full of emotion heartaches, and hardships. Her journey started out on a ship, the ¨Ship Of Death.¨ On the ship of death Amari was treated very savage like. Her final destination was the Derby plantation. At the plantation Amaris main purpose was to be called for at night by Clay Derby. Although her life at the plantation is very hard

The Five suns is creation story of the Aztec based on the mythological account of space, time, universe, people, animals and the world they lived in, as they understood it. The myth explains life’s unknowable obscurities to the Mesoamerica Mexica and Azteca people and it deeply rooted in their culture. Per the Archaeologist Nicoletta Maestri, “they believed their world had been created and destroyed four times before, and the current age, the fifth sun, would also end in violence at the end of the calendric cycle.” The mythologies claims that human have the responsibility of making sense of their surrounding as well as live by the god’s rule who have made human existence possible by sacrificing their blood and bones. The story begins with the primary maternities couples named Tonacacihuatl and Tonacateuctli known as Ometeotl or the gods of duality. They created the nine level of the universe and instructed their four

Galileo’s findings from his telescopic observations were revolutionary because he showed that the heavens were not perfect.

“An heirloom-breaking, clumsy little harami” (Hosseini 4), sets the tone for the beginning of Mariam’s life throughout the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. Many women are mistreated throughout the novel, but Mariam’s childhood is much tougher because she is a harami, or “bastard child”. Mariam tries to find emotional and physical shelter in her lifetime, but struggles to find it. In the beginning of her life she can’t find emotional shelter from her mother, Nana, so she tries to find shelter from her father, Jalil, but can’t find a connection. She then was forced to marry Rasheed, but can only find physical shelter in him. Later in the novel, she becomes friends with Laila,

While ancient cultures gave homage to the moon and stars, they worshipped the sun as a god. With out the sun there could be no life on planet Earth. The sun has been continuously providing light and heat for approximately four and a half billion years now, whereas it is expected to still

It came to be a surprise for scientists when they found out that the geomagnetic storm, which powered the auroras, moved at a speed of 400 miles per minute across the sky. It was estimated that the power of the storm was the same as the energy that is realized by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake. Researchers had already suspected that energy of the Aurora Borealis is provided by a bundled stream of magnetic fields, but it was not confirmed until later when satellites had become the earliest to map the structure of this phenomenon about 40,000 miles above the surface of the Earth.^2

The concepts that relate to the evidence and support my claim are taking notes and using the sunspots graph. The best time to see the aurora borealis are April through August.

From what you know about the path of the Sun across the sky, can you explain the differences between the paths of the Sun on the horizontal sundial for the three observations?

Large solar flares from Coronal Heating erupting from the surface, reaching up to temperatures of 1,000,000K, often caused by magnetic reconnection of the electric fields. The ions quickly move across from different polarities, allowing the particles to be seen traveling along the path. These paths observed were the sunspots that the particles were traveling along, often seen as darker due to the intensity of the magnetic fields. The images of the solar flares captured by Argo were incredible as the wave like features started to twist and get tangled from the radial difference, as the sun was littered with darken spots, clearly in the peak of its 22 year long

In 1609, Galileo Galilei, using “spyglass” which allowed one to see things closer than they appeared, made an early version of the telescope. With it, he observed the skies in a way no one had before. He discovered the moon isn’t perfectly globular, it has craters, the Sun has sunspots, Venus orbits the Sun (contrary to widespread belief in his time), and then he observed four “stars” around Jupiter (“Our Solar System”). Within

Answer: Life on Earth wouldn’t be possible without the sun. It gives us light and warmth. Also, by studying the sun, we can predict weather forecasts. These aided farmers in knowing when they should plant and harvest their crops. The sun’s energy also helps power many electrical appliances on Earth and in space.

The middle latitude prevailing westerly cells are called the Ferrel Cell. It is named after William Ferrel, and American scientist who published his “Essay on the Winds and Currents of the Ocean” in 1856. In this essay and later papers, he showed by rigorous mathematics that winds are affected by the rotation of the Earth.

Solar flares are cyclical, usually over a period of eleven years. There are three basic stages to a solar flare. The first stage is the precursor stage, where the release of magnetic energy is triggered. In the second or impulsive stage, radio waves are emitted. During the third or decay stage, the gradual build up and decay of soft x-rays can be detected.

     Sunspots, where most solar flares occur, are dark patches on the surface of the sun. This is where the gas of the sun is not so hot and causes it to take on a different color. A typical sunspot is about 22,000 miles in diameter and the number visible sunspots from satellites are about 5 to 100, it varies.
