Yes. It hit about two hours ago, as of this writing (so even longer ago, depending on when you're reading this).

If you're asking if you need to worry about it, let me reiterate it already started. If you haven't noticed anything yet, chances are pretty good you won't notice much going forward either.

Is the sun the center of your solar system true or false?

TRUE!!!! All the planets in the Solar system including Earth orbit the Sun, in ellipses. The Sun lies at one of the foci of these ellipses, NOT the centre. So the Sun is NOT at the 'dead' centre of the Solar system.


Is it true that the wave length of energy radiated from the earth back into the atmosphere is longer than the incoming solar radiation?

Yes, it is true. The energy radiated from the Earth back into the atmosphere is primarily in the form of infrared radiation, which has a longer wavelength compared to the incoming solar radiation, which is predominantly in the visible spectrum and has shorter wavelengths. This difference in wavelength is due to the Earth's surface temperature being much lower than that of the Sun. As a result, while solar radiation peaks in the visible range, Earth's emitted radiation peaks in the infrared range.


Is this true or false total solar eclipse can be seen only by people in the area of Earth within the Moons umbra?

True. The umbra is the central darker total shadow of the Moon. Outside of this area, called the penumbra, is the lighter partial shadow. In this area, you would see a partial or annular eclipse. The umbra and penumbra are cone-shaped areas of full and partial shadow. The solar eclipse of January 14, 2010 (last week, as I write this) the Moon was so far away from the Earth that the umbra didn't reach all the way to the Earth. So the Sun was visible all the way around the Sun; and "annular", or ring-shaped eclipse.


What is the third smallest planet in our solar system?

mercury Answer The third planet, in distance from the Sun, is Earth. The distance is 149.6 million kilometres on average. Mercury and Venus are closer. The third largest planet in the Sun's solar system Uranus (Jupiter and Saturn are larger). The third smallest planet in this solar system is (regarding Pluto as a dwarf planet, not a true planet) Venus (Mercury and Mars are smaller).


When did scientists discover that the earth is not the center of your solar system?

In the early 16th Century, Nicolaus Copernicus theorised that the Sun was in fact the centre of our solar system - not the Earth, as was previously thought. The Greek Aristarchus of Samos, 1,800 years before Copernicus, was the true founder of heliocentrism.

What statement is true about the sun A the sun is at the center of the solar system B the sun is at the center of the entire universe D the sun revolves around earth and earth's moon?

The statement that is true about the sun is A: the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun is indeed at the center of our solar system, around which all planets, including Earth, revolve. It is not at the center of the entire universe, and the idea that the sun revolves around Earth and Earth's moon is a misconception.
