Do sunspots warm up the earth?
Although solar activity is associated with sunspots, there is no associated increase in solar output. Historically sunspot activity waxed and waned on an 11 year cycle, which maps to no identifiable earthly weather pattern of matching period.
The Institue for Human Continuity has identified three disaster scenarios they deem most likely to occur in 2012 What are they?
crustal displacement, planet x, solar activity
What phase of the moon is there a solar eclipse?
A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
When does a Solar Eclipse occur and why?
at least every 4 years, and solar eclipses occur when the sun,moon, and Earth are in a straight line,also in order for the solar eclipse to occur these objects have to be in the order of : SUN1ST MOON2ND AND EARTH 3RD
Is halleys comet long period or short period comet?
That depends on what you call 'long' or 'short'. Halley's period is in the neighborhood of 75 years, give or take a few years. Since that's short enough for two perihelions to occur within a single human lifetime, I guess it ought to be considered a short period.
How often does the occur?
Solar flares are ejected from the Sun every so often. It relates to solar activity on the Sun. They can occur at any time, but are more common at the peak of the cycle of solar activity and for about 3 years after the peak. The solar activity cycle takes about 11 years.
How often does the Aurora occur?
Solar flares are ejected from the Sun every so often. It relates to solar activity on the Sun. They can occur at any time, but are more common at the peak of the cycle of solar activity and for about 3 years after the peak. The solar activity cycle takes about 11 years.
What is a solar max?
Solar max (aka solar maximum) refers to period of greatest activity during the solar cycle of the Sun.
What substance is thought to be causing global warming?
Solar activity. Period.
Why might solar activity cause telegraph wires to short out?
Solar activity will not cause telegraph wires to short out. Wireless telegraphy on the other hand is effected by solar flares hitting the ionosphere. It scatters the reflective wave that long range transmitters use for skip transmissions off of the ionosphere.
When do Aurora borealis occurs?
The aurora borealis occur at times of heightened states of solar activity, this also applies to the aurora australius.
When will Halley's comet occur?
Halley's Comet, the best-known of the short-period comets, returns to the inner solar system and becomes visible every 76 years. It has been doing so since about 200 BC.
How can solar energy extend your period of time whating television?
Solar energy extends your period of time watching television or doing any other activity by storing energy from the sun in batteries. These batteries in turn generate electricity.
How many years until Pluto gets eclipsed by Charon once again?
From the Wikipedia article, "Solar eclipses on Pluto": "The next period of time when solar eclipses can occur on Pluto will begin October 2103, peak in 2110, and end January 2117. During this period, solar eclipses will occur at some point on Pluto every orbit of Charon."
Do sunspots warm up the earth?
Although solar activity is associated with sunspots, there is no associated increase in solar output. Historically sunspot activity waxed and waned on an 11 year cycle, which maps to no identifiable earthly weather pattern of matching period.
When was the solar activity the least?
The least known amount of solar activity occurred in the year 1871.
What moderates the temp of the planet?
Solar activity and green house gases moderate the temperature of Earth. Solar activity goes through an approximate 22 year cycle where the magnetic poles reverse which takes the first 11 years and revert back which takes the second 11. In spite of this, there is no noticeable difference between each of those 11 year halves as each half has a solar maximum (period of high solar activity and flares) and a solar minimum (period of low solar activity) of varying degrees. Without a doubt, the sun is the largest contributer to what heats our planet. However, greenhouse gases and ozone depleting elements through various ways also contribute considerably.
