coldest temperature in the solar system ?

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

alright, i found an article saying that the coldest temperature in the solar system is actually on the moon. it said that some parts of the moon rarely face the sun because of its angle, like the poles. the poles have glaciers where the light hasnt touched it for a long while.

my question is that if other planets are at an angle.. and are further than the moon.. then why isnt the temperature cooler there..

please read this article …. and answer

If there is no asolute sun light it doesnt matter how far it is from Sun. You have to note that Moon is not active so it does not have heat from the its own body. So unexposed (to sun) locations get colder

Does the heat bounce back from solar panel? Will it create more global warming if all roofs are solar paneled?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Imagine if you put a mirror under the sun, it heats up and the light is reflected back. How is solar panel different from this concept? Does it uses a special material so the heat will not bounce back to the atmosphere and make our Earth more warmer causing more global warming and helping to melt down the iceberg in north and south pole? Are you a genius? answer my question :P ….

don k is right. except solar thermal panels absorb heat to, of course, to heat water. to even think that solar panels heat up so much to attribute to global warming has to be the most idoitic, clueless question i have ever read. we are all dumber to have read it. does your hot breath cause global warming? It gets hot under your arm pits and behind your legs, must be melting ice bergs with that body heat, right?

What is the angular inclination of the Earth’s rotational axis relative to its solar orbital plane?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

This question popped up in a discussion with a coworker regarding the seasons. As I recall, the angular inclination is approx 13 degrees relative to the Earth’s solar orbital plane, I believe; I’m not certain of this, though. Additionally, I tend to believe that the angle is somewhat constant.

My coworker disagrees, though. He accounts for the seasons by believing the pitch/angle varies throughout the year. But I asked, what phenomenon occurs that is great enough to pitch the Earth up to 13° (or whatever the angle is) in one direction, reverse direction, and then pitch it 13° in the opposite direction? The force required to do this would be tremendous.

I contend that the angle is constant. When the North pole is pitched toward the Sun, the northern hemisphere has its warmer months. At the opposite end of the Earth’s orbit about the sun, the North pole would be pitched away from the Sun, thus the colder months.

Can anyone shine some light on this topic? Thanks for your help.

Instant communication of information with a long long pole?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Alright, this was just a random question that popped into my head. Let’s say you have a long, LONG pole, that stretches from Earth to Neptune. Let’s also say that the pole is made out of diamond, and so is one big macromolecular structure, incompressible.

Say I have a Neptunian friend who wants to know whenever Man U scores a goal in the UEFA Champions League 2050, played on Earth. But it would take minutes before the information was transmitted to him via TV/radio, because information can only travel at the speed of light. So we rig this special long pole and connect it from my house to his house, across the solar system. We agree that we would both hold each end, and when Man U scored, I would push the pole, using it to give him a nudge, so he’d know.

I watch the match, and when Man U scores, I push the pole. Now, doesn’t he feel the nudge immediately? What’s the flaw with this reasoning that contradicts the special theory of relativity?

the problem is, it’s not "incompressible".
nothing is.
some things are almost so, to the degree that it seems to be.
but his sound wave analysis is correct.

Hmmmm, i wonder what the speed of sound is in diamond?

Where to Find Black Solar Powered Lamp Post Light???

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I have searched all over the internet for just a black solar powered post top light WITHOUT the pole. (I already have an existing one and want to put the solar top on it.) Anyone know where I can find such an item in black? I found a couple but in the wrong color.

How to get City to put in Solar Powered Street Lights? ?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I live in Chandler, Arizona and recently the city put in radar guns on main roads. I noticed that each tower that records and repeats how fast you are going uses a solar panel at the top. I am a huge fan of being green! When I first saw these, I was jumping in my car!
From pictures on the internet I have seen street light poles also powered by solar panels. How can I ask Chandler to do this too? If I were to write a letter requesting them do you think it would follow through? Thanks- 10 points for best answer!

Radar guns need a 10 watt solar panel with a couple of D size batteries. A street light need a 100 watt panel and a 100 amp -hr battery. the radar system costs $100 and returns $1000 per week. A solar light costs $2000 and saves $50 per year. so invest $2,000,000 to save $50,000, a year is not worth it.

Need a name for a craft business. We have decorated solar light poles and personal art prints.?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

First names and poems are printed on art background prints.

Any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party and/or may be trademarked so I wanted to go a different route…

Here’s a few things to keep in mind:

1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind.

2) The more unique & distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.

3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray?

Specific brainstorming tips:

Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON’T want. If you don’t want a 3-word name, don’t bother with those. If you don’t want non-English words, don’t bother with those & so on and so forth.

What are the "types" of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types & then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.

Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:

http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/research/a/Sec_of_state.htm –Go to your state’s Secretary of State page to see if they have a searchable database of business names
http://www.hoovers.com/free/
http://www.thomasnet.com – Must register (free) to search their database

However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what’s out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I’d try them out first. This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
