  2. Air mass (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_mass_(astronomy)

    The air mass then is simply the secant of the zenith angle : =. At a zenith angle of 60°, the air mass is approximately 2. However, because the Earth is not flat, this formula is only usable for zenith angles up to about 60° to 75°, depending on accuracy requirements.

    Many TNOs are often just assumed to have Pluto's density of 2.0 g/cm 3, but it is just as likely that they have a comet-like density of only 0.5 g/cm 3. [ 4 ] For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 ...

    Tiny Planets is an animated children's television series produced by Sesame Workshop, and Pepper's Ghost Productions.The concept was designed and developed by Ed Taylor. The television series consists of 65 five-minute, [3] dialogue-free (and later narrated by Kim Goody, the singer of the theme song) episodes featuring two white-furred extraterrestrials travelling their universe and solving a ...

  5. Air mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_mass

    Continental and superior air masses are dry, while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character. Classification schemes ...

  6. Planetary mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_mass

    The choice of solar mass, M ☉, as the basic unit for planetary mass comes directly from the calculations used to determine planetary mass.In the most precise case, that of the Earth itself, the mass is known in terms of solar masses to twelve significant figures: the same mass, in terms of kilograms or other Earth-based units, is only known to five significant figures, which is less than a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_Kids

    YouTube Kids has faced criticism from advocacy groups, particularly the Fairplay Organization, for concerns surrounding the app's use of commercial advertising, as well as algorithmic suggestions of videos that may be inappropriate for the app's target audience, as the app has been associated with a controversy surrounding disturbing or violent ...

  8. Orographic lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orographic_lift

    Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. [1]: 162 As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation. [1]: 472

  9. Two-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem

    [2] Let x 1 and x 2 be the vector positions of the two bodies, and m 1 and m 2 be their masses. The goal is to determine the trajectories x 1 (t) and x 2 (t) for all times t, given the initial positions x 1 (t = 0) and x 2 (t = 0) and the initial velocities v 1 (t = 0) and v 2 (t = 0). When applied to the two masses, Newton's second law states that
