The Earth have one natural satellite; the Moon. The moon is the closest natural celestial body seen to the naked eye from Earth. Scientists believe it has helped shaped life and climate of the planet over the eons. But is there really any use of it? If so, how can we make use of it? Let's look into some possibilities..

The Sun produces massive amounts of energy by a process called nuclear fusion where Hydrogen atoms are combined to form Helium atoms. This energy is emitted to space in the form of electromagnetic radiation. After 8 minutes of journey, a portion of it arrives on Earth with an estimated energy density over a 1000 Watts per square meter. About 30% of this energy is reflected back to space. The rest of it powers up the planet as we know it. On Earth, energy arrives in the form of electromagnetic waves including Infra-red (IR), visible light and Ultraviolet (UV). We refer to it as “ sunlight ”. The following list is a composition of the main forms of energies produced from solar energy and stored on Earth.

Atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the Earth retained by Earth's gravity. Have you ever come across the question; what is the shape of the atmosphere? It's fair to think that the atmosphere is shaped somewhat like the Earth itself. because of gravity. We know that the Earth is not a perfect sphere. So, We can assume atmosphere to have a similar shape. But amazingly, the shape of the Atmosphere is affected by a lot of factors and the deformation is even more. Lets see why that is..

The final transit of Venus in 21st century took place on 5 th and 6 th of June 2012. The transit lasted for 6 hours and 30 minutes. Transit of Venus is considered a rarest predictable phenomenon. Venus transits occur in pairs separated by 8 years of time and each pair is separated by more than a century. The first transit of this century took place in year 2004 on 8 th of June.
