Although his name and history were taken from his early life with his adoptive Earth parents, everything about Clark was staged for the benefit of his alternate identity: as a reporter for the Daily Planet, he receives late-breaking news before the general public, has a plausible reason to be present at crime scenes, and need not strictly account for his whereabouts as long as he makes his story deadlines.

So, as Poe suggested, the Earth receives no starlight from beyond a certain distance, corresponding to the age of the oldest stars.

The Earth receives 174 petawatts ( PW ) of incoming solar radiation ( insolation ) at the upper atmosphere.

Solar radiation ( or sunlight ) is the energy the Earth receives from the Sun.

The cause of this he did not long seek in vain ; thirteen times the mean motion of Venus is so nearly equal to eight times that of Earth that the difference amounts to only a small fraction of Earth's mean motion, and from the fact that the term depending on this difference, although very small in itself, receives in the integration of the differential equations a multiplier of about 2, 200, 000, Airy was led to infer the existence of a sensible inequality extending over 240 years ( Phil.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Noboru receives the message, albeit almost 9 years in the future.

The amount of ultraviolet radiation received by any planets in the star's habitable zone would be similar to the ultraviolet flux the Earth receives from the Sun.

During the Great Patriotic Wars, Earth receives heavy damage-although the Alps and Jamaica survive-and ceases being the center of Human civilization.

The Earth receives a total amount of radiation determined by its cross section ( π · R < sub > E </ sub > ² ), but as it rotates this energy is distributed across the entire surface area ( 4 · π · R < sub > E </ sub > ² ).

Pietro manages to expose himself to the Mists regardless, and receives new powers before collecting both the Terrigen Crystals and his daughter, Luna, and returning to Earth.

Although the Earth constantly receives energy from the sun, its chemical composition is essentially fixed, as additional matter is only occasionally added by meteorites.

* Ralph Offenhouse appears in several novels, set both before his appearance here ( such as Star Trek: The Eugenics Wars Volume 1, in which Claire Raymond also receives a mention ) and Debtors ' Planet set after the episode's events, in which it is revealed that after Offenhouse returns to Earth, he becomes active in Federation politics, first serving as ambassador to the Ferengi and then becoming the Federation's Secretary of Commerce.

In A Man Without a Country, Vonnegut receives a brief phone call on January 20, 2004 from Kilgore Trout in which they discuss George W. Bush's State of the Union Address and the imminent death of the Earth due to human carelessness.

Although the tune was first associated with Psalm 134 in the Genevan Psalter, the melody receives its current name from an association with the 100th Psalm, in a paraphrase by William Kethe entitled All People that on Earth do Dwell.

In " Alpha ; Omega ", Optimus receives a pre-recorded message from Alpha Trion who explains that he sent the Star Saber and other relics to Earth to aid Optimus and the Autobots in their war with the Decepticons, he also reveals that he has sent four relics which can revive their dead homeworld, the Omega Keys.

Since the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun at about the same time that the Earth reaches the closest approach to the Sun, the southern hemisphere receives slightly more energy from the Sun than does the northern over the course of a year.

An Earth agency, known as the ISA, receives the message from Rama requesting two thousand humans.

Returning to Earth with heavily damaged armor, the Master Chief receives an upgrade.

This site is one of the driest locations on Earth and receives 1 – 3 cm of snow per year.

; update: in this scenario, two satellites, Unit A and Unit B, orbit around Mars ; the satellites are programmed to land while transmitting their status to Earth ; Earth has received a transmission from one of the satellites, communicating that it is still in orbit ; however, due to interference, it is not known which satellite sent the signal ; subsequently, Earth receives the communication that Unit A has landed ; this scenario can be modeled in the following way ; two propositional variables and indicate that Unit A and Unit B, respectively, are still in orbit ; the initial set of beliefs is ( either one of the two satellites is still in orbit ) and the new piece of information is ( Unit A has landed, and is therefore not in orbit ); the only rational result of the update is ; since the initial information that one of the two satellites had not landed yet was possibly coming from the Unit A, the position of the Unit B is not known ;

As the TARDIS arrives on Earth in its future, Adric argues with the Doctor about the lack of attention and respect he receives compared to Nyssa or Tegan, and wishes to return to his home planet Terradon, a feat the Doctor claims is impossible.

Captain Archer receives word that his friend, Captain A. G. Robinson, has been killed in a climbing accident on 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.

There are more carbohydrates on Earth than any other known type of biomolecule ; they are used to store energy and genetic information, as well as play important roles in cell to cell interactions and communications.

The Chinese had a somewhat different series of elements, namely Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood, which were understood as different types of energy in a state of constant interaction and flux with one another, rather than the Western notion of different kinds of material.

His first action is to trigger a nuclear weapon in orbit around the Earth, in order to absorb the energy contained within for his own use.

For example, a seated passenger in a moving airplane has zero kinetic energy relative to the airplane, but non-zero kinetic energy ( and higher total energy ) relative to the Earth.

He designed the first instruments used in satellites to measure cosmic radiation and ozone, and in 1951 or 1952 designed the MOUSE (" Minimal Orbital Unmanned Satellite, Earth "), a proposed satellite that would contain Geiger counters for measuring cosmic rays, photo cells for scanning the Earth, telemetry electronics for sending data back to Earth, a magnetic data storage device, and rudimentary solar energy cells.

The ability of the atmosphere to capture and recycle energy emitted by the Earth surface is the defining characteristic of the greenhouse effect.

In the greenhouse effect, rather than retaining ( sensible ) heat by physically preventing movement of the air, greenhouse gases act to warm the Earth by re-radiating some of the energy back towards the surface.

MacLeod designs an energy shield to protect the Earth after its ozone layer began to disintegrate, but the Shield's heavy red clouds and blocking of natural sunlight have plunged mankind into despair.

No energy can reach the center of the cavern, which corresponds to no point a finite distance away from Earth in the widely accepted scientific cosmology.

Much of the energy from the Sun arrives on Earth in the form of infrared radiation.

However, either fission or fusion technologies can in principle achieve velocities far higher than needed for Solar System exploration, and fusion energy still awaits practical demonstration on Earth.

Some 26 months after the Earth Return Vehicle is originally launched from Earth, a second vehicle, the " Mars Habitat Unit ", would be launched on a 6-month long low energy transfer trajectory to Mars, and would carry a crew of four astronauts ( the minimum number required so that the team can be split in two without leaving anyone alone ).

For instance, electrons and positive ions trapped in the dipole-like field near the Earth tend to circulate around the magnetic axis of the dipole ( the line connecting the magnetic poles ) in a ring around the Earth, without gaining or losing energy ( this is known as Guiding center motion ).

In our age of Science and Angst it seems to me more brave to stay on Earth and explore inner man than to fly far from the sphere of our sorrow and explore outer space ''.

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 ; ;

Pioneer 1, recorded a decrease in flux with distance from the Earth on the basis of 11 counts in 9 hours.

The flux of micrometeorites in the neighborhood of the Earth can be estimated by extrapolation from radar and visual meteor data.

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 ).

They lay months away from the nearest Earth star by jump drive, and no one knew what they were good for, although it was felt that they would probably be good for something if it could only be discovered -- much like the continent of Antarctica in ancient history.

Time coordinates on the TAI scales are conventionally specified using traditional means of specifying days, carried over from non-uniform time standards based on the rotation of the Earth.

* Extraterrestrial life, life which does not originate from the Earth

Amateur astronomers often contribute toward activities such as monitoring the changes in brightness of variable stars and supernovae, helping to track asteroids, and observing occultations to determine both the shape of asteroids and the shape of the terrain on the apparent edge of the Moon as seen from Earth.

In Dream of Scipio, Cicero describes what seems to be an out of body experience, of the soul traveling high above the Earth, looking down at the small planet, from far away.

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

Satan and his angels will convince the unrighteous to surround the city, but hell fire and brimstone will fall from heaven and consume them, thus cleansing Earth of all sin.

In 1989, the European Space Agency's Hipparcos satellite took astrometry into orbit, where it could be less affected by mechanical forces of the Earth and optical distortions from its atmosphere.

For example, the full moon has an angular diameter of approximately 0. 5 °, when viewed from Earth.

Hipparchus also gave an estimate of the distance of the Sun from the Earth, quoted by Pappus as equal to 490 Earth radii.

Almost all matter observable from the Earth seems to be made of matter rather than antimatter.

* 1966 – Lunar Orbiter 1 takes the first photograph of Earth from orbit around the Moon.

It is a class M0 orange giant located 366 light years away from Earth.

It is also the apparent magnitude a star would have if it were 32. 6 light years ( 10 parsecs ) away from Earth.

Many stars visible to the naked eye have such a low absolute magnitude that they would appear bright enough to cast shadows if they were only 10 parsecs from the Earth: Rigel (− 7. 0 ), Deneb (− 7. 2 ), Naos (− 6. 0 ), and Betelgeuse (− 5. 6 ).

How bright is the Moon from Earth?
