Our star—the Sun—is a bubbling, boiling ball of fire. See Picture 1 to the right. It constantly belches out great clouds of hot gas. This gas is all charged up with electricity, too. This stuff travels at astounding speeds, some of it right toward Earth! This means that Earth’s weather happens inside the Sun’s weather!
Thank goodness Earth’s magnetic field (see Picture 2) and atmosphere protect us from most of this blast. Otherwise, the Sun’s weather would be OUR weather. Yikes!
However, we are still affected by the Sun’s atmosphere and its violent activities. We call this part of our weather “space weather,” because it comes to us through space from the Sun.
Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy.
You are testing for the presence of starch: Iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide - reacts with starch producing a deep blue-black color. This reaction is the result of the formation of polyiodide chains from the reaction of starch and iodine.
Animals that live in any snowbound region may adapt to its environment by growing bigger feet in order to be able to walk over the deep snow. Also the animals might grow thicker fur in order to keep the animal warm while in the cold weather.
