Weather patterns can shift significantly each day or minute – from sunshine and rainstorms to snowfall and even blizzards! Windy weather events, known as storms, include tornadoes, dust devils, gales, squalls and hailstorms. Tropical cyclones (commonly referred to as hurricanes or typhoons) also produce powerful winds with rough seas and heavy rainfall – two additional…
An Earth analog or Earth twin planet is defined as any planet which shares most of the characteristics found here on our own planet, including geological processes and lifeforms. Astrobiologists and astronomers study such planets in search of extraterrestrial life forms. Scientists have recently identified an increasing number of rocky exoplanets – planets like Earth…
Weather radar can be an invaluable tool for monitoring the climate, but its accuracy can be subject to errors and uncertainties due to factors like ground clutter, beam blockage, attenuation and second-trip echoes. C-Band radars in particular may experience problems, leading to inaccurate velocities or overestimation of rainfall forecasts and results in inaccurate velocities or…
Planet Mars lies between Earth and Venus. Travelling at approximately 228 billion km per year from Sun to Matahari, Planet Mars can be seen moving outward from its surface. As its equatorial orbit is circular, so has low altitude, its surface temperature is significantly lower than that of the Moon, giving rise to its classification…
Mars may appear to have seasons, but they’re much more complex than you might realize. Due to its thin atmosphere and lack of oceans, its climate changes rapidly between seasons. Mars weather can vary daily and even over short distances. Cloud cover, precipitation and wind speed all play an integral part of its climate system….
Spaceflight Simulator is a game that allows you to engineer, plan and complete missions. You can build your own rockets, launch them and land them on all the planets in the Solar system. Each destination is modeled accurately in terms of gravity pull and atmospheric conditions. The large solar panel formerly generated electricity and was…
Weather satellites are primarily used for monitoring the Earth’s weather and climate. They see more than clouds and cloud systems; they can also provide information about fires, city lights, effects of pollution, auroras, sand and dust storms, snow cover, ice mapping, boundaries of ocean currents, energy flows, etc. They have to be far away, at…
Many people are familiar with home and commercial solar panels, but not all are aware of space-based solar technology. This is a huge area of research that’s still in its infancy, but China already claims to be generating one megawatt by 2030. The sun is more intense in space, so satellites can collect more energy…
Satellite weather adelaide is a great way to find out what the climate is like in a certain area. This article provides information about Adelaide’s average temperature, rainfall, and wind speed. It also contains information about the climate’s perceived humidity level, which is a good indicator of how comfortable it is to be outdoors. This…
