Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...
A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.
If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.
There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.
So n=c/v, n= index, c=speed of light and v= speed of light in diamond. 2.42=c/v so v=c/2.42, c≈<span>3x108 m/sec</span><span> so v=</span><span>1.24x108 m/sec</span>.

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.
Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.
Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
I believe it goes as the following::
1) Waves transfer energy without moving particles
2) The two types of waves are longitudinal and transverse waves OR The two types of waves are mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Both are applicable and should be correct!
