What Is Aphelion
It is the point where the planet in orbit is furthest from the
sun.
What is the Tropic of Capricorn
The Tropic of Capricorn, sometimes also known as the Southern
tropic, is a line of latitude about 23 degrees to the south of the
equator. It is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark
maps of the Earth. Its equivalent in the northern hemisphere is the
Tropic of Cancer.
Why do the poles experience the coldest temperatures on earth
This is because they are furthest from the direct rays of the
sun. Even during the summer when they can receive 24 hours of
daylight, the sun is barely above the horizon. Since its rays have
to pass through a lot more of the atmosphere, they are "diluted"
and can heat the surface very little.
Which term refers to the motion of the earth as it travels around the sun
Which types of water are collected and recycled for use on the international space station
All forms of water are recycled :)
How does the International Space Station obtain its air
It is made through the process of electrolysis
Which method regulates the temperature aboard the space station by reducing the amount of the sun's radiation that is absorbed
Why is the observatory aboard the International Space Station able to provide a better view into space than is possible from any observatory on earth
its not surrounded by thick atmospheres
Which spacecrafts bring supplies to the space station and are then used as waste storage modules when supplies are unloaded
the progress & the automated transfer vehicle
How can studies on the effects of microgravity impact citizens living on earth
findings can be ussed to help the aging live healthier &
live more active lives
What simple seemingly ordinary instrument uses NASA's infrared technology to help provide hospital nursing staffs more time to devote to patient care
An ear thermometer uses NASA's infrared technology.
Only one solution should be considered for any problem that utilizes technological design
