Sunset Times 2024

Posted on:

What determines sunset times? Sunset times are primarily influenced by three key factors: Earth's axial tilt, its elliptical orbit around the Sun, and the implementation of daylight saving time. The axial tilt of Earth leads to varying the angle of the Sun's rays at different times of the year, altering […]

Earth-Sun Size Comparison

Posted on:

Physical Dimensions of Earth and the Sun The Earth, while vast from our perspective, is remarkably small compared to the Sun. The Earth has a radius of approximately 6,371 kilometers, which translates to a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers. In contrast, the Sun's equatorial diameter is around 1,391,000 kilometers. This […]

Mountain Formation

Posted on:

Tectonic Plate Interactions Tectonic plate boundaries, the immense interfaces beneath Earth's surface, are hotbeds of geological activity influencing mountain formation. At convergent boundaries, where two plates collide, the scene usually leads to the dramatic uplift known as fold mountains. These giants of nature, like the Himalayas or the Andes, rise […]
