If they were referred to as " sea snakes ", they were understood to be the actual snakes that live in Indo-Pacific waters ( Family Hydrophiidae ).

If the claim is recognised by the UN then Argentina will gain the rights to the commercial exploitation of the sea bed ( which includes mining and oil drilling ).

If enough moisture exists, thunderstorms can form along sea breeze fronts that then can send out outflow boundaries.

If Earth is an example, then sea temperatures in excess of 35 ° C would jeopardize marine life and make the cooling of mammals to temperatures suitable for their metabolism difficult if not impossible.

If, as happens on rare occasions, hatching takes place during daylight, only a very small proportion of each hatch ( usually 1 %) succeed, because local opportunist predators, such as the common seagull, gorge on the new sea turtles.

If such an earthquake causes rapid deformation of the sea floor, there is potential for tsunamis, such as the earthquake caused by subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate under the Eurasian Plate on December 26, 2004 that devastated the areas around the Indian Ocean.

:" If mother Prague, the pearl of the Western Slav world, is to be lost in a German sea, what awaits my dear homeland, Slovakia, which looks to Prague for spiritual nourishment?

: If you ever go across the sea to Ireland

If the continental land masses were criss-crossed by a series of tunnels or canals, the sea level in these canals would also very nearly coincide with the geoid.

If this is the case, the name probably is derived from the word vǫrr which means " wave " or " sea ".

If the woman becomes pregnant, the man goes back to sea.

If light moves instantaneously, the telescope does not move, and the true direction of the star relative to the observer can be found by following the line ES.

If the Byzantines adopted the crescent and star as a symbol of their city after the events of the mid 4th century BC, one is forced to wonder why they waited several hundred years before putting the symbol on only some of their coins.

If two sets are used, each player controls two differently colored sets of pieces at opposite corners of the star.

If a main-sequence star is not too massive ( less than approximately 8 solar masses ), it will eventually shed enough mass to form a white dwarf having mass below the Chandrasekhar limit, which will consist of the former core of the star.

: If a planet crosses ( or transits ) in front of its parent star's disk, then the observed brightness of the star drops by a small amount.

If several planets in the same system are discovered at the same time, the closest one to the star gets the next letter, followed by the other planets in order of orbital size.

If a planet orbits one member of a binary star system, then an uppercase letter for the star will be followed by a lowercase letter for the planet.

If the parent star is a single star, then it may still be regarded as having an " A " designation, though the " A " is not normally written.

If the occulting object has an atmosphere, however, some of the luminosity of the star can be refracted into the volume of the umbra.

Anderson is best remembered as a film maker for his " Mick Travis trilogy ", all of which star Malcolm McDowell as the title character: If .... ( 1968 ), a satire on public schools ; O Lucky Man!

If the brightness of the object exceeded the maximum limit of eight times the brightness of Canopus, the spacecraft would search for a new star.

If a white dwarf has a close companion star that overflows its Roche lobe, the white dwarf will steadily accrete gas from the companion's outer atmosphere.

If the universe is static and populated by an infinite number of stars, any sight line from Earth must end at the ( very bright ) surface of a star, so the night sky should be completely bright.

If a star's core becomes stagnant ( as is thought will be the case for the Sun ), it will still be surrounded by layers of hydrogen which the star may subsequently draw upon.

If the core of the star is not too massive ( less than approximately 1. 4 solar mass, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time ), it may then form a white dwarf ( possibly surrounded by a planetary nebula ) as described above for less massive stars, with the difference that the white dwarf is composed chiefly of oxygen, neon, and magnesium.

If the mass of the core exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, electron degeneracy pressure will be unable to support its weight against the force of gravity, and the core will undergo sudden, catastrophic collapse to form a neutron star or ( in the case of cores that exceed the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit ), a black hole.

If the star temperature has been determined by a majority of absorption lines, unusual absences or strengths of lines for a certain element may indicate an unusual chemical composition of the photosphere.

:: If the repeaters in a network that is based upon the physical extended star topology are replaced with hubs or switches, then a hybrid network topology is created that is referred to as a physical hierarchical star topology, although some texts make no distinction between the two topologies.

If, as has been suggested, the reference in the Talmud to " a star which appears once in seventy years that makes the captains of the ships err " ( see above ) refers to Halley's Comet, it may be a reference to the 66 CE appearance, because this passage is attributed to the Rabbi Yehoshua ben Hananiah.

If a binary star happens to orbit in a plane along our line of sight, its components will eclipse and transit each other ; these pairs are called eclipsing binaries, or, as they are detected by their changes in brightness during eclipses and transits, photometric binaries.

If components in binary star systems are close enough they can gravitationally distort their mutual outer stellar atmospheres.
