When visiting a friend in Columbus, OH, this winter, you noticed that the temperatures were consistently colder in Columbus than

in your home town of Atlantic City, NJ. When you discussed this with your friend, she explained that Columbus is significantly further inland than coastal Atlantic City, while they are still at the same latitude. Why does that explain the difference in weather?

Answer:

land surfaces heat and cool more rapidly than water surfaces because of the high specific heat of water.

Explanation:

  • The change is due to the fact that the land surface as compared to the water surface absorbs more amount of heat and can easily release the same amount of heat at much faster rate.
  • While the oceans of the seas have specific heat or water has a heat-retaining capacity like the latent heat it is sensible heat.
  • <u>Thus when coming to Columbus in winters the temperature is colder than the coastal city of Atlanta NJ as the effect of the land and the sea breezes and also temperature extremes are known to be found in the interiors of the continents.</u>

Is earth a part of a large physical system that contains other planets, moons and stars?
Strike441 [17]
-- Earth is one planet is a "Solar System", that consists of everything
that's gravitationally hooked to the Sun ... one star.  This system contains
7 other other significant planets, more than 100 of their moons, and huge
numbers of comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and countless bodies in a
giant shell that are so small and so far away that we can only see a few
of them so far.  Every one of these items orbits the sun.  The ones that
are farthest out may take thousands of years to complete one orbit.

That's the 'kingdom' of ONE star ... the sun.

-- It's very likely that there are similar gatherings of different-size objects
around MOST stars ... maybe ALL stars.  Those objects are tremendously
difficult for us to see.  We're just beginning to be able to see the most massive
planets that go with other stars, and already, something like a thousand of them
have been discovered.  We know that they're there, but we can't see things like
their actual size or surface markings yet.

-- Stars are clumped in gatherings of several billion, called 'galaxies'. 
Our sun is one of an estimated 300 to 400 billion stars in one galaxy,
which we call the "Milky Way Galaxy".

-- Astronomers estimate that there are billions of other galaxies.

So there are billions of billions of other stars, and most of them may
have several planets.

That's an awful lot of OTHER physical systems out there, that contain
other planets and moons.

Having trouble wrapping your mind around all of that ?  Don't worry,
you're not the only one.  It's easy for us to talk about it, but impossible
for our minds to actually understand it.  It's just too big.
