How to Converting Mass to Energy? General purpose of this lecture is to present on How to Converting Mass to Energy. Out of the special theory of relativity comes the most famous equation…
Acceleration Calculation Acceleration means speeding up. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. This can be an Increase in speed; Decrease in speed or Change in direction.…
The Sun: A Nuclear Powerhouse The Sun gives off energy. The energy must come from somewhere – there’s no free lunch. Conservation of energy is a fundamental tenet of physics. Now…
Solar Flare and Resulting Prominence A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire…
Radiation and Earth’s Atmosphere The earth’s global average surface temperature in present climate is 15C (59F). Without the atmosphere, it would be -18C (-0.4F). About 33C or 59.4F colder;…
How is the Sun Active? Principle objective of this lecture is to present on how is the Sun Active. The Sun is an average-size yellow star, just like billions of others…
Presentation on Sunspots Sunspots typically about 10000 km across. At any time, the sun may have hundreds or none. They are dark color because they are cooler than…
Energy Transport within the Sun The Sun is our sole source of light and heat in the solar system. This is a very common star, a glowing ball of gas held…
Outer Layers of Sun Major objective of this lecture is to present on Outer Layers of Sun. Outer Layers includes: Photosphere: Helioseismology and Sun spots; Chromosphere; Corona; Prominences, flares, coronal mass ejections. Photosphere…
Sun: General Properties The aim of this lecture is to present on Sun: General Properties. Common Sun Properties are: Spectral type G2V; Age: ~ 4.52 Gyr; Absolute visual magnitude MV =…
Sun: Energy Path Prime objective of this lecture is to present on Sun: Energy Path. Sun path refers to the apparent significant seasonal-and-hourly positional changes of the sun as the…
Measuring Motion: Speed and Acceleration Basic objective of this lecture is to present on Measuring Motion: Speed and Acceleration. Example; Measuring Distance: Meter – international unit for measuring distance. Calculating Speed: Speed (S) =…
