The earth is the mobile entry in our environments and the sun is a stable entity that influences our environmental occurrences when it is a stable statute.
The earth tilts to positions that enable sunlight to induce annual seasons. This is a very useful result from sun – earth interaction. It is important for our people to understand how these entities influence our environmental features.
Scientists have covered how the energy from sun activity makes plants to generate food for living organisms.
This article ridicules the common untrue announcement widely made that the sun rises in the east and settles in the west. It takes 330 000 earths to match the mass of the sun.
There is a common misconception among the public that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
It is important to note that the earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that’s why the sun, moon, planets and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
Over the years that the races of mankind have existed on the earth, they have had the misunderstanding that it is the sun that moves from the east of the earth during sunrise and gets to the west of the earth at sunset.
The correct manner of the process is now correctly understood as follows: It is the earth that moves by rotation, while the sun retains a stable status in the position that we could imagine it was installed during creation. The earth rotates around the sun in an east-to-west direction non-stop.
When a given portion of the rotating earth gets under the sunlight, its rotating phase takes 12 hours to finally disappear from under the sunlight in the region. This is why an event that is to use sunlight for the vision it requires, has to limit the time to 12 hours.
The relation between the earth and the sun is a fundamental aspect of our existence on this earth. The sun provides the energy necessary for life to thrive on earth through the process of photosynthesis.
The energy is absorbed by plants and converted into food which sustains all living organisms. The sun’s heat regulates our climate and weather patterns. It is understood that without solar energy, the earth’s living systems would freeze. The earth-sun relationship is a complex and intricate system that has been intensely studied by scientists.
Some roles of the Equator
The Equator is the imaginary great circle around the earth’s surface;
The Equator divides the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the southern hemisphere;
The Equator is equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole;
The Equator is perpendicular to the Earth’s axis of rotation;
In terms of sunlight speed, it takes light from the sun over a period of 8.3 minutes to reach our eyes.
Generation of the earth’s seasons
It is during the periods when the earth is rolling around the sun that the sunlight induces seasons on the earth. Here are examples of how this season’s induction process occurs. One type of season induction happens when the earth tilts its axis towards the northern hemisphere which receives direct sunlight that brings the summer season during the months of June, July and August.
Another type of season induction is when the earth tilts its axis towards the southern hemisphere which receives the most direct sunlight which induces the summer season during the months of December, January and February. It is known that the earth has four seasons which include spring, summer, autumn and winter. The seasons of the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere vary. In this section we have shown the summer months in the northern hemisphere differ from the summer months in the southern hemisphere.
Structural and functional features of the sun
The sun is 150 million kilometres from the earth. The sun is our solar system’s only star. The sun is a 4.5-billion-year-old star of the solar system. The sun is the largest object of our solar system, with a diameter of 1.4million kilometres. Some stars of other solar systems have been found to be of 100 times larger size than the size of the sun.
The hottest part of the sun is its core where the temperature is 15 million deg C. The sun is more massive than the earth. It would take more than 330 000 earths to match the mass of the sun. Our solar system is moving with an average velocity of 720 000 kilometres per hour.
The sun does not have a solid surface life the earth and other rocky planets and moons have. The part of the sun commonly called its surface is the photosphere. This word means “Light sphere”. This is apt because this is the layer that emits the most visible light. This is what we see from the earth with our eyes.
