Sundogs. The beautiful work of God displayed in the sky for every eye to see. Every winter, we see them in all of their marvelous beauty in the sky above us. Yet, we barely even notice them. We may smile or comment, but in reality, we don’t really know the mysteries behind them. Because usually we are too busy. I mean, over 11,000,000 pieces of information come in contact with our five senses every second of everyday. So we don’t become overwhelmed, our brain sifts through them at warp speed, separating what we need to know from what we can safely ignore. Thus, 99.9 percent of all incoming data is blithely discarded. So, why should we care? I’m about to tell you why. Maybe Sundogs remind you of snowmobiling through the woods on a beautiful summer day. Or Nana’s house where you drank warm Hot Chocolate and she told you stories and gave you advice. Sundogs make winter mysterious and almost magical in a way. It leaves you feeling warm inside and fresh with excitement. Yet, we hardly know how they are formed. How are they formed? Sundogs are made from fairy dust (or hexagonal plates floating in the air). The crystals act as prisms, bending the light of the sun and making it seem as if there are rainbows on either side. The rainbows or halos typically form 22° away from the sun. If the crystals are randomly oriented, then it makes a complete halo …show more content…
And sometimes they can almost seem brighter that the sun. Sundogs are red-colored at the side nearest the sun. Farther out the colors grade through oranges to blue. However, the colors overlap considerably and so are muted, never pure or saturated. Whenever most people see anything around the sun, they call it a Sundog. This is not true, as there are many things that can appear to look like Sundogs even though they aren’t. Parhelion, Halos, Mock Suns, Sun Spokes and others are some of the examples that people confuse Sundogs
Pit bulls, the most dangerous dog to ever live. People like to train Pit Bulls to fight other dogs until they are either hurt or dead. The owners that train the dogs are usually the ones that make the dog turn out to be vicious and dangerous. “Each year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, approximately 40% of whom are Pit Bulls”(Moore). Pit Bulls don’t know better to understand which is right from wrong since they’re being raised up to fight and protect. Pit Bulls aren’t good family dogs due to the power of their strength and that they could attack at any moment.
Conquests--- the art of obtaining power and authority through means of military forces--- have been adopted and practiced throughout the history of America for centuries. Similar to how two art paintings have resemblances and differences when replicated by different artists, the conquests of Sundiata and Cortés both share commonalities as well as a fair share of respective distinctions. In Djibril Tamsir Niane’s Sundiata: Epic of Old Mali and Bernal Díaz’s The Conquest of New Spain, the narrator’s arguments within each account display a ray of more similarities in regards to the conquests’ successes of Sundiata and Cortés compared to that of their differences.
First off, as evidence, the kids didn’t ever remember seeing the sun, so they were extremely thankful and happy when they got the chance to see it. While we see it almost every day, and we don’t even think about the sun. It’s kind of like dessert, you don’t get it a whole lot, but when you do, it tastes amazing, kind of like the kids in All Summer in a Day, except you
They’re carbon stars, a unique type of variable star, which accumulate soot in their upper atmosphere that scatters light near the blue end of the spectrum. What’s left for us to view is the red component of a star’s light. As the carbon particles build up, the star fades in brightness and gets even redder. Eventually, the carbon absorbs enough radiation to escape the star, and the cycle starts over again.
the larger one was the sun and it gave off a lot of light. Coyote told
Sundiata is an epic of a powerful king who expanded the Mali empire to a great territorial area and he did so because he was destined. My mother read me a more simplified story of Sundiata as a child and through reading this book, I remembered so many lessons and African cultural traditions that I learned as a child. There were several interesting aspects of this epic that reflected some of the material we have learned thus far in class as well as other interesting themes that are repeated throughout it. Sundiata is an epic that recounts a historical event while teaching various African ideologies.

Sunspots are the most apparent features on the Sun’s surface or photosphere. Anyone could use a filter such as a welder’s helmet to observe groups of sunspots. A sunspot consists of two regions, the umbra and the penumbra. The temperature of the umbra can be as low as 4,000 K and the penumbra that surrounds the umbra has a temperature of about 5,500 K which contrasts to the photospheric temperature of 6,000 K. The difference in temperatures makes the sunspots appear dark against the brightness of the
The sun emits electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths. This is basically the energy given off by the sun UV Rays are anywhere from 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers. They are the cause of bad things, such as sunburn and skin cancer. They also cause a lot of good effects, like they help kill germs and bacteria. There are UV-A rays, which are longer wavelength and are helpful for the most part. There are also UV-B rays, which have a shorter wavelength, and cause sunburns and other harmful impacts. Luckily 95% of UV-B rays are absorbed by the ozone layer. There are also UV-C, which is the most harmful, but they never reach the surface.

The sun is a star that is medium sized among the star categories. Solar system is pivoted around the sun. The sun is a primary source of light and heat for earth which is responsible for keeping the temperature of earth in a reasonable range that is sustaining life.
Patricia Glinton-Meicholas shows the sun symbolizing the theme of family because the sun never changes but the light can shift for example, your family is always there for you even when you don?t need them. Another example is when Cally stops talking to her family but in the end when she needed them the family was there to support her. The author writes that the family never goes away just like the sun, it is always there. But even though the light is there you can always turn/shift away from it, but in the end you have the choice to continue to ignore the light or turned back and face the light. The light in this novel represents the importance of family and support.
Rainbow color components are evident through dispersion of visible light and total internal reflection in prisms.
It a hot summer day and the Sun is shining bright as ever. Have you ever wondered what the Sun is made of and why is the Sun so important to us? Well, we get our energy from the Sun. Plants and animals need the suns energy to survive. The sun give plants energy through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Animals get there energy from eating the plants. The sun also provide us with light, if the sun did not exist it would just be dark. The sun is very essential to all life on earth. Without the sun we would not have energy to survive, we would not have plants to eat. There would not be any trees to give us oxygen and no animals to
