The only astronomical mentions my research turned up is that Alder is the name of an impact crater on the Moon. Here's the link to read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_(crater). Otherwise, this is the genus name of a plant.

How does astronomy differ from four major earth sciences?

Astronomy is the study of things that are not earth, and although we use particular occurrences and data recorded on earth to understand the laws of physics that effect phenomena that happens in our universe, it is a study not of earth but where earth exists, the solar system, our milky way galaxy, and our universe as a whole.


What had the greatest effect on the study of Astronomy?

Hubbel telescope


What is a word that starts with y and is somehow related to astronomy?

A Yagi antenna, which can be used for radio astronomy.


How can you use phenomena in a sentence?

A "phenomenon" is an occurrence, something that is an observable event or effect. The plural is "phenomena". Example : "Many phenomena related to weather are not fully understood." Example : "After observing the odd phenomena in the haunted house, the owner quickly moved out."


How could light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy?

Light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy by making it more difficult to view the stars. If you notice, when you get out of the cities where there is less air and light pollution, you are better able to view the stars.


What is the Doppler effect and how does it alter the way you perceive radiation?

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. In terms of radiation, the Doppler effect can shift the frequency of electromagnetic waves emitted by a moving source, affecting how the radiation is perceived. This shift can be observed in phenomena like redshift in astronomy for light from distant galaxies moving away from Earth.


How does light behave as a wave and as a particle?

Light behaves like a wave through phenomena such as interference and diffraction, where it exhibits wave-like behaviors such as superposition and wavelength. It also behaves like a particle through the photoelectric effect, where it interacts with matter as discrete packets of energy called photons.


Compare wave and particle models of light. What phenomena can only be explained by the particle model?

The wave model of light describes light as an electromagnetic wave that exhibits properties like interference and diffraction. The particle model of light, on the other hand, describes light as a stream of particles called photons. Phenomena like the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering can only be explained by the particle model of light, where light behaves as discrete particles (photons) interacting with matter.


What causes the mottled rainbow effect in certain natural phenomena?

The mottled rainbow effect in certain natural phenomena is caused by the refraction and dispersion of light through different mediums, such as water droplets or ice crystals, which separates the colors of light and creates a colorful pattern.


Can the Doppler effect reveal the rotation speed of a star by the splitting of the spectral lines?

Yes that is true! Astronomy homework?


What does the particle model explains of light?

The particle model of light explains that light behaves like a stream of particles called photons. It helps account for phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and the discrete nature of light energy.


What is the phenomena of ocean waves lighting up at night called?

The phenomena of ocean waves lighting up at night is called bioluminescence. This occurs when certain marine organisms, such as phytoplankton or jellyfish, produce light through a chemical reaction within their bodies, creating a magical glowing effect in the water.
