Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 49EAP
Research: Current Solar Weather. Daily information about solar activ-ity is available at NASA’s website www.spaceweather.com. Where are we in the sunspot cycle right now? When is the next solar maximum or minimum expected? Have there been any major solar storms in the past few months? If so, did they have any sig-nificant effects on Earth? Summarize your findings in a one-to two-page report.

Students have asked these similar questions
What is photovoltaic (solar) cell ? How does it work ?
1) What is thermal equilibrium? Is the Sun in thermal equilibrium? How do we know this?
2) In order to maintain thermal equilibrium, how much energy must the Sun generate every second?
What is the temperature of the Sun (google for the answer)? What is the re-entry temperature of the Space Shuttle (google for the answer)? Why don’t you burn up at the reentry temperature of 17318.5K for this Mach 20 flow? Why do you think that the body should actually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in the opposite direction. (ie.. blunt/flat surface first.)
