Document Summary

We never see a different side of the moon bc its orbit is tidally locked. Evidence for all of these has been found on a solar system moon, except microbial life. The time for a planet to cool is proportional to radius, bc its vol/sa=radius. If a star is moving towards us, its light will be blue-shifted. The atmosphere of venus is covered in clouds, because its mostly carbon dioxide. The most common type of star in the universe is reddwarfs. Tidal forces are responsible for all of these except, phases of the moon. All of the below are greenhouse gases except nitrogen (h20,ch4, c02-yes) What major difference did homosapiens evolve compared to homoerectus? larger cranium. Greenhouse gases are transparent to optical light, found on venus and earth, infrared. The habitable zone should perhaps more appropriately called surface liquid water zone. All known life is based upon carbon.
