During its final days as a red giant, the Sun will reach a peak luminosity of about 3000LSun. Earth will therefore absorb about 3000 times as much solar energy as it does now, and it will need to radiate 3000 times as much thermal energy to keep its surface temperature in balance. Estimate the temperature Earth’s surface will need to attain in order to radiate that much thermal energy.

The earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. it is this spinning of the earth that causes

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.
