Watching the Detective Although a lot is happening during the seasons, the facts seem to fit together. ... From these facts, we should be able to figure out the cause of the seasons. ... Facts 4, 5, and 8 indicate that the seasons have something to do with the Sun. ... Although the angle varies by the same amount at every latitude (see figure 4 ), the effect of this variation on solar heating increases with latitude, a fact you can confirm with a little trigonometry (see Geometry of the Seasons ). ...

Although their determination is based on the scattering process model, independent check-ups by rocket experiments have shown their correctness in experimental applications. ... Ionospheric data analysis, especially during strong disturbances, cannot be without some other kinds of diagnostic tools. ... The lack of data has always been a challange in this case. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy : The seasons are caused by the change in the distance of the Earth to the Sun. ... The change in distance of the Earth to the Sun is a very minor player. ... Well, not completely wrong; certainly the Earth's distance from the Sun has something to do with the temperature, but it is a relatively minor effect. ... Basically, the temperature depends only weakly on distance changes; the temperature goes as the inverse square root of the distance of the planet to the Sun...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...

Computers become more and more popular nowadays. That means that the amount of people who are able to work with computer programmes and play computer games has increased. In many cases computer games are the only thing that a person is accustomed to. ... As a result of this epidemic "homo playing" may put on the isoreality helmet which makes a person, crazy about games, forget about food, slumber and all other components of real life: "homo playing" becomes isolated from community. ...

... A nasty dispute between the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) and the space-science community was narrowly averted early this year when SDI officials backed down on a planned launch of a satellite with a Russian-built nuclear reactor on board. ... Early Soviet space reactors orbited for two to three months, and two Soviet Topaz 1 experiments, one for six and one 12 months, created radiation belts that disrupted the operation of scientific satellites. ...

SUNSPOTS & SOLAR FLARES Sunspots are areas where the Sun's light output is restricted to a certain extent by magnetic fields at that point in the photosphere. Sunspots emit a considerable amount of light, but in comparison with the rest of the Sun's surface they appear dark. ...
