 <span>The theory is that sunspots protect the earth from gamma rays, and gamma rays are conducive to cloud formation and therefore sunspots reduce cloud cover. 

There's be quite a competitive debate over the base 4 years or so about this, especially between Denmark's Henrik Svensmark and British Mike Lockwood. One thing that came out of the debate is that if Svensmark is directionally correct, he initially over-stated the magnitude of overall temperature change due to sunspots. Svensmark finally clarified in 2009 that sunspots have had zero overall contribution to global warming, and that the year-to-year variations can be see only after applying a linear rate of global warming of 0.14 degrees per decade. To the degree that Svensmark is correct, the solar minimum has been masking a small portion of global warming over the past couple of years and will contribute to a warming peak in 2013. 

Lockwood on the other hand has theorized that sunspots affect annual regional weather rather than global temperatures. His work has shown that solar activity correlates strongly with weather in England and northern Europe.

<span>The sunspots are eruptions of heat and light energy emitting from the surface of the sun. These can increase our energy absorption many times above normal. Especially if it is pointed directly at the earth. These have been known to disrupt several bands in the radio spectrum and have knocked out communications of satellites. Naturally all this energy would have a great effect on our earth in many ways, climate included.</span>

Mitosis is done by your body cells. This cartoon illustrates an exception. What types of cells do not undergo mitosis?
Ksju [112]
Sperm and egg cells do not go through mitosis, they go through meiosis. Why? Well, in mitosis, cells copy themselves. But in sperm and egg cells, they have to duplicate differently. So, there is no such thing as two different sperm or egg cells that are the same.

amid [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. A computer model.

Explanation:

Pilots use flight simulations for their training, airlines heavily depend and rely on the training at computer simulators (fixed base simulators). These simulators are based on Artificial intelligence to stimulate real-like virtual conditions with 3D geographical locations and many other components such as cockpit controls and how to use the cockpit displays to control the airplane.

Thus, the correct answer is - A. A computer model.
