Wyatt and Whipple, 1950 ), which is a retardation of the orbital motion of particles by the relativistic aberration of the repulsive force of the impinging solar radiation, causes the dust to spiral into the sun in times much shorter than the age of the Earth.

If such is the case, the particles within a distance of about Af of the Earth will have, relative to the Earth, a kinetic energy less than their potential energy and they will be captured into orbits about the Earth.

It is also possible that some of the dust in the vicinity of the Earth originated from meteoritic impacts upon the moon.

Beyond a few million kilometers from the Earth, but still in the region of the Earth's orbit, a prediction of the flux of dust is even more unreliable.

The direct evidence on the micrometeorite environment near the Earth is obtained from piezoelectric sensors ( essentially microphones ) and from wire gages ; ;

if a substantial fraction of the dust is orbiting about the Earth, only about one third the above-mentioned average velocity should be used in deriving the mass.

Of course, if there is a dust blanket around the Earth, the fluxes in interplanetary space should be less than the figures given here.

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

What Gabriel was asking was that mankind forego all its parochial moral judgments, and contract to let the Angels serve on Earth as it is in Heaven regardless of the applicable Earth laws.

The average overall albedo of Earth, its planetary albedo, is 30 to 35 %, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.

Human time on Earth is divided up into relevant cultural traditions based on material, such as the Paleolithic and the Neolithic, of particular use in archaeology.

* Earth Architecture-A website whose focus is contemporary issues in earth architecture.

The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

A relatively recent role for amateur astronomers is searching for overlooked phenomena ( e. g., Kreutz Sungrazers ) in the vast libraries of digital images and other data captured by Earth and space based observatories, much of which is available over the Internet.

Recently however, funding of projects such as the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research and Near Earth Asteroid Tracking projects has meant that most comets are now discovered by automated systems, long before it is possible for amateurs to see them.

This unique sound is the backdrop for the band's message of dignity for indigenous people, all of humanity, and Earth.

In Abrahamic religions the view is generally held that one goes to hell or heaven depending on one's deeds and / or faith while on Earth, or predestination and Unconditional election, or to the intermediate state to await the Resurrection of the Dead.

The second resurrection is of the unrighteous, when Jesus brings the New Jerusalem down from heaven to relocate to Earth.

Islam teaches that the life we live on Earth is nothing but a test for us and to determine each individual's ultimate abode be it punishment or Jannat in the afterlife, which is eternal and everlasting.

Iron is usually found as iron ore on Earth, except for one deposit of native iron in Greenland, which was used by the Inuit people.

Climate-wise, the Earth had begun a drying and cooling trend, culminating in the glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch, and partially offset by the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.

Due to the lack of solar heating and very strong radiative cooling from carbon dioxide, the mesopause is the coldest place on Earth with temperatures as low as-100 ° C (- 146 ° F or 173 K ).

Because of the need for maximum cooling of the water vapor to produce these clouds, their distribution tends to be restricted to polar regions of the Earth during the respective summer seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres.

The Martians are an ancient, advanced race with a tentacled, cephalopod-like appearance, who are invading Earth as their own planet is cooling down.

The extreme cooling of the global climate around 700 million years ago ( the so called Snowball Earth of the Cryogenian period ) and the rapid evolution of primitive life during the subsequent Ediacaran and Cambrian periods are often thought to have been triggered by the breaking up of Rodinia.

With hindsight, we can discount Dana's conjecture that this contraction was due to the cooling of the Earth ( aka the cooling Earth theory ).

The cooling Earth theory was the chief paradigm for most geologists until the 1960s.

* 1862 – Lord Kelvin attempts to find the age of the Earth by examining its cooling time and estimates that the Earth is between 20 — 400 million years old

Earth cooling tubes or other passive cooling techniques can keep a solarium cool in the summer.

* Earth cooling tubes

Depending on the time of year, the earthquakes cause the warmth, or cold, of Papa to come to the surface of the land, resulting in the warming, or cooling of the Earth.

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.

Suess was not correct ; his analysis was predicated upon the notion of " contractionism ": the idea that the Earth is cooling down and, therefore, contracting.

Radiative cooling is commonly experienced on cloudless nights, when heat is radiated into space from the surface of the Earth, or from the skin of a human observer.

The term radiative cooling is generally used for contemporary processes, though the same general principles apply to the cooling of the planet over geological time, which was first used by Kelvin to estimate the age of the Earth ( though you cannot neglect the fission heat source for this purpose, so his answer was wrong ).

In addition, to decrease costs of operation ( heating, cooling, ...) techniques as Earth sheltering, Trombe walls, ... are often incorporated.

Usually during the daytime the interception of sunlight predominates, giving a cooling effect ; however, at night the re-radiation of heat to the Earth slows the Earth's heat loss.

The seasonal monsoon wind shift and weather associated with the heating and cooling of the Tibetan plateau is the strongest such monsoon on Earth.

When the umbra does not reach the surface of the Earth, the Sun is only partially occulted, resulting in an annular eclipse.

This showed that the meteoroids are mostly behind and outside the path of the comet, but paths of the Earth through the cloud of particles resulting in powerful storms were very near paths of nearly no activity.

Metals are often extracted from the Earth by means of mining, resulting in ores that are relatively rich sources of the requisite elements.

The best studied is the Sturtian-Varangian glaciation, around 600 Ma, which may have brought glacial conditions all the way to the equator, resulting in a " Snowball Earth ".

This development of multicellular organisms may have been the result of increased evolutionary pressures resulting from multiple icehouse-hothouse cycles ; in this sense, Snowball Earth episodes may have " pumped " evolution.

According to this series, an area of Earth stretching from Florida to Venezuela will be devastated by an alien attack in 2153, resulting in the death of 7 million people.

Recognizing that it is essential that we understand the challenges that we face as part of the Earth system in order to create appropriate solutions, NOAA conducts an end-to-end sequence of activities, beginning with scientific discovery and resulting in a number of critical environmental services and products.

** The early termination of a spaceflight, particularly a mode resulting in the return of the spacecraft to Earth.

Its fundamental principle is that of balance-the energy that the Earth absorbs from the sun each year is equal to that which it loses back into space, but this however is not a balance precisely maintained in each latitude due to the varying strength of the sun in each " cell " resulting from the tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to its orbit.

Portable pendulums began to be taken on voyages to distant lands, as precision gravimeters to measure the acceleration of gravity at different points on Earth, eventually resulting in accurate models of the shape of the Earth.

Such globes map the constellations on the outside of a sphere, resulting in a mirror image of the constellations as seen from Earth.

The resulting film, The Earth Trembles, starred only non-professional actors and was filmed in the same village ( Aci Trezza ) as the novel was set in.

Not all of the ring material would have necessarily been swept up right away ; the thickened crust of the Far Side suggests that a second moon about 1, 000-km in diameter formed in a Lagrange point of the Moon ; after tens of millions of years, as the two moons migrated outward from the Earth, solar tidal effects would have made the Lagrange orbit unstable, resulting in a slow-velocity collision that would have ' pancaked ' the smaller moon onto what is now the Far Side.

The resulting mass irregularities would subsequently produce a gravity gradient that resulted in tidal locking of the Moon so that today, only the near side remains visible from Earth.

* In the fictional Cowboy Bebop universe, an accident involving an experimental warp gateway destroys the Moon in 2022, devastating the Earth and resulting in the settlement of other planets in the Solar System.

A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of or effecting the Earth, for example floods, tsunami, tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, heatwaves and droughts, wild fires, landslides, blizzards, ice storms and avalanches.

Some scientists argue that, because the Earth was much hotter, tectonic activity was more vigorous than it is today, resulting in a much faster rate of recycling of crustal material.

Theia's mythological role as the mother of the Moon goddess Selene is alluded to in the application of the name to a hypothetical planet which, according to the giant impact hypothesis, collided with the Earth, resulting in the Moon's creation.

The resulting battle culminates in the large scale destruction of Earth, but the people of the SDF-1 survive.

When the meteoroids pass by Earth, some are accelerated ( making wider orbits around the Sun ), others are decelerated ( making shorter orbits ), resulting in gaps in the dust trail in the next return ( like opening a curtain, with grains piling up at the beginning and end of the gap ).

Earth-Man uses the claim to have Earth secede from the United Planets and ban all aliens from Earth, resulting in several Legionnaires going underground.
