Earth Science Vocabulary
... Chemical property: A characteristic of an element that relates to how it interacts with other elements. Cloud: Tiny droplets of water, usually high in the air. Cold front: The contact zone where a cold air mass overtakes a mass of warm, moist air. Comet: A mass of ice and dust orbiting the Sun. Cond ...

Stars
... Main sequence stars have zones (in radius) that are convective, and zones that are radiative, and the location of these zones depends on the behavior of the opacity, in addition to the other properties of the star. Massive stars, which are those greater than several solar masses, are convective dee ...

Kepler`s 3rd law worksheet
... Of Kepler’s Three Laws of Planetary Motion, the third law is the one that is most useful today in putting up satellites. It compares the motions of two satellites (planets, moons, etc.) around the same central body. The key is to find the constant for each central body. For example, let’s use the Su ...

STAAR Science Tutorial 35 TEK 8.8B: The Sun
... TEK 8.8B: Recognize that the Sun is a medium-sized star near the edge of a disc-shaped galaxy of stars and that the Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star. Our Sun is a star, much like all of the other stars that are visible in the night sky. What makes our Sun different ...
