Essays on Solar Wind

When people talk about the weather on earth, they speak in terms of temperature, air pressure, the direction and speed of wind, humidity, whether it is cloudy or windy, and whether snow or rain is falling. Basically, when people talk about the conditions of the weather, they talk about the conditions of the atmosphere which are susceptible to change from time to time. Like in earth, there is also a weather pattern experience in space which is completely different from that experienced on earth. For instance, one cannot possibly have wind if there is no air. However, many scientists ...

The Sun

The Sun is known as the only one star in the Solar system. It is the center, around which the planets, asteroids, satellites, comets, space dust are revolving. The nature of each planet depends on the distance that separates the planet from the Sun. This bright star is important for all the planets surrounding it. So, how much the humanity knows about the fiery star that can kill the entire earth in one second? Since the beginning of time, people looked at the sky, hoping to learn a little about the twinkling stars and the fiery sun. As we ...

Abstract The focal purpose of the Voyager Interstellar Mission has been to broaden the NASA exploration of the solar system further than the quarter of the outer planets and extend to the limits of the sphere of influence on the sun and even beyond. This expansive mission has been continued to characterize the environment of the outer solar system and has also assisted in search for heliopause boundary i.e. the outward flow of solar wind and the outer limits of solar magnetic field. Heliopause boundary penetration between the interstellar medium and the solar wind allows in measuring interstellar ...

- Sticker info Q. Most plug-in electrical devices in your home or school have a sticker on the bottom or back that describes some of their electrical characteristics. Find one near you and share it. What can you understand about the device from looking at this sticker? The device in consideration is an HUAWEI travel charger. The charger indicates that it will require an electricity input of 100 – 240 volts. Its output is 5.0 V, and a current of 400mA. This means that if the input and output conditions are not met, the device may be destroyed or not ...

Historical background of the voyager programmes

The Voyager programs were launched in America in 1977 with an aim of studying the planetary systems in Jupiter and Saturn. Initially, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were used in this mission for 12 years until 1989. After this period, Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) was launched with an objective of extending the exploration of the solar system. VIM background and mission According to NASA (6), the scope of VIM goes beyond Jupiter and Saturn planets to include outer planets and outer limits of the sun’s influence. The mission seeks to establish the heliopause frontier, outer limits ...

The aurora is a natural display of lights happening on the upper atmosphere, specifically, the magnetosphere, "the volume of space that surrounds the Earth" (Frequently Asked Questions about Aurora and Answers). It is a phenomenon that happens in the north and south poles, thus, the terms "northern lights" or the "southern lights. These lights are created when particles of the solar wind are sucked into the atmosphere with the help of Earth's magnetic fields. When this happens, the particles become energetically charged. As the "excited atom or molecule return[s] to the non-excited state [it sends] off a photon by making light" ( ...
