  2. Celiac plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_plexus

    The celiac plexus is often popularly referred to as the solar plexus. In the context of sparring or injury, a strike to the region of the stomach around the celiac plexus is commonly called a blow "to the solar plexus". In this case it is not the celiac plexus itself being referred to, but rather the region around it.

  3. Water on terrestrial planets of the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_on_terrestrial...

    The best constraints for accreted H 2 O are determined from non-atmospheric H 2 O, as the D/H ratio of the atmospheric component may be subject to rapid alteration by the preferential loss of H [22] unless it is in isotopic equilibrium with surface H 2 O. Earth's VSMOW D/H ratio of 1.6×10 −4 [7] and modeling of impacts suggest that the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Plexus_(disambiguation)

    The celiac plexus (or solar plexus) is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen. Solar plexus or Solar Plexus may also refer to: The solar plexus chakra in Hinduism, see Manipura

    False-color Cassini radar mosaic of Titan's north polar region; the blue areas are lakes of liquid hydrocarbons. "The existence of lakes of liquid hydrocarbons on Titan opens up the possibility for solvents and energy sources that are alternatives to those in our biosphere and that might support novel life forms altogether different from those on Earth."—NASA Astrobiology Roadmap 2008 [1]

  6. Planetary core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_core

    The internal structure of the inner planets. The internal structure of the outer planets. A planetary core consists of the innermost layers of a planet. [1] Cores may be entirely liquid, or a mixture of solid and liquid layers as is the case in the Earth. [2]

  7. Solar System - Wikipedia

    This revolution is known as the Solar System's galactic year. [273] The solar apex, the direction of the Sun's path through interstellar space, is near the constellation Hercules in the direction of the current location of the bright star Vega. [274] The plane of the ecliptic lies at an angle of about 60° to the galactic plane. [c]

  8. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

  9. Hydrophobic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_effect

    The hydrophobic effect can be quantified by measuring the partition coefficients of non-polar molecules between water and non-polar solvents. The partition coefficients can be transformed to free energy of transfer which includes enthalpic and entropic components, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. These components are experimentally determined by calorimetry ...
