World Sunlight Map Watch the sun rise and set all over the world on this real-time, computer-generated illustration of the earth's patterns of sunlight and darkness. The clouds are updated daily with current weather satellite imagery. The Mercator projection used here is one way of looking at the spherical earth as a flat map. Used since the 16th century for navigation, straight lines on this map can be used accurately as compass bearings but the size and shape of continents are distorted. Compare this with Peters, Mollweide or equirectangular projection maps. Also available is a semi-realistic view of dawn and dusk from far above the Earth, a look at the moon, and information about how this works.

The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives Looking at the numbers above, you'll immediately notice that you are different ages on the different planets. The earth is in motion. The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. Why the huge differences in periods? Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe Kepler briefly worked with the great Danish observational astronomer, Tycho Brahe. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. Let's just solve for the period by taking the square root of both sides: The Gravity Of The Situation Isaac Newton ©2000 Ron Hipschman
Chinese Moon Cake(Yue Bing Recipe)—Traditional Version This is a traditional Chinese Moon Cake (Known as Yue Bing in Chinese) recipe use red bean paste and egg yolk as filling. Mooncake festival also known as Chinese Mid-autumn day is my birthday and I am really excited that it is coming. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month (八月十五) on lunar calendar.

This is available at Asian store too or you can make the mixture at home mixing dietary alkali with clean water at the ratio of 1:4. Notes
Stjärnor och planeter (LättLäst) Stjärnor och planeter (LättLäst) Det finns en sol och 8 planeter i vårt solsystem. Planeterna snurrar runt solen i banor. Planeterna ligger i den här ordningen: Merkurius, Venus, Jorden, Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus. Tidigare fanns en planet till. Den hette Pluto. Det är solens dragningskraft som håller fast planeterna i deras banor. Solen är egentligen en stjärna. Gravitation En av de viktigaste naturkrafterna i universum är gravitationen. Samma kraft håller kvar månarna runt planeterna. Man vet inte riktigt hur gravitationen uppstår. Eftersom månen är mindre än jorden är gravitationen mindre. Här kan du räkna ut hur mycket du väger på andra himlakroppar:www.ungafakta.se/stjarnorplaneter/? Astronauter Hur är livet som astronaut? För att kunna bli astronaut måste man ha nästan perfekt hälsa. Det är viktigt att astronauterna bygger upp sina muskler. Hur funkar det i rymden? Väl uppe i rymden är allting tyngdlöst.

The Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, minor planets, and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io, the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter, or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. What Is The Solar System? The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question, and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. Scientists believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. At the center of this spinning cloud, a small star began to form. Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming, there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. A Great Storm Once ignited, the Sun's powerful solar winds began to blow. The Solar System Has Over 100 Worlds It is true that there are only eight planets.
A total eclipse - Science (7) - ABC Splash - Overview Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon are perfectly aligned. Find out why an eclipse does not occur each month (the approximate time it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth). Use the animation to help explain how a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse occur.

Moon Phases / Lunar Phases Explained Have you ever wondered what causes the moon phases? We all know that its appearance changes over time. But why? The good way to understand the phases of the moon is to examine an earth-moon-sun diagram: ©MoonConnection.com All Rights Reserved. Diagram Explanation The illustration may look a little complex at first, but it's easy to explain. Sunlight is shown coming in from the right. One important thing to notice is that exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. So the basic explanation is that the lunar phases are created by changing angles (relative positions) of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth. If you'd like to examine the phases of the moon more closely, via computer software, you may be interested in this moon phases calendar software. Moon Phases Simplified It's probably easiest to understand the moon cycle in this order: new moon and full moon, first quarter and third quarter, and the phases in between.
