a minute planet; a body that could or did come together with many others under gravitation to form a planet. Planetesimals are small rock fragments that combined together to eventually form planets
Based upon Max Planck's theory of black-body radiation, Einstein theorized that the energy in each quantum of light was equal to the frequency multiplied by a constant, later called Planck's constant. A photon above a threshold frequency has the required energy to eject a single electron, creating the observed effect.
Exothermic reaction is when the system releases energy to the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of negative, as the system is transferring energy towards the surrounding.
Endothermic reaction is when the system is absorbing energy from the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of positive, as energy is transferred to the system.
