1. The flow of water produces hydroelectricity. Falling water produces hydroelectric power.
2. Water can be reused to produce hydroelectric power. Pumped storage: Reusing water for peak electricity demand.
3. A turbine connected to a generator produces power inside a dam.

These are some of the ways water is used to generate electricity.

• Impoundment power plants.
• Run-of-river generation.
• Pumped storage.
• Tidal range generation.
• Tidal stream generation.
• Wave generation.

When flowing water is captured and turned into electricity, it is called hydroelectric power or hydropower.

Now, through new knowledge of how the world works, science has led us to realize that humanity itself has its own elemental power. Earth scientists speak of natural tectonics. These are the forces cracking the planet’s crust with earthquakes and volcanoes. But humanity is a tectonic force, too.

The word pyrokinesis (Greek language: pyr=fire, kinesis=movement) was popularized by horror novelist Stephen King in his 1980 novel Firestarter to describe the ability to create and control fire with the mind, though its use predates the novel. The word is intended to be parallel to telekinesis, with S. T.

Also Called Atmokinesis. Meteorokinesis. Meteorological Manipulation. Weather Alteration/Control/Shaping. Weather Modification.

Still, people are changing the weather. Weather modification, of a sort, has been possible since the 1940s. We can now cause some clouds to dump extra moisture on demand. People also have begun to transform the weather in an unintentional way — through activities that have been altering Earth’s climate.

Risks or concerns like unwanted ecological changes, ozone depletion, continued ocean acidification, erratic changes in rainfall patterns, rapid warming if seeding were to be stopped abruptly, airplane effects, to name a few, may just not be bad enough to override the imperative to keep temperatures down.

The most famous Roman god is Jupiter, king of all the gods, who rules the sky controlling thunderstorms, lightning, weather and air.

Each of the planets in our solar system experiences its own unique weather. But one thing is certain: Only Earth has weather we can live with.

Deep within Neptune and Uranus, it rains diamonds—or so astronomers and physicists have suspected for nearly 40 years. The outer planets of our Solar System are hard to study, however.

If you thought living on Earth in 2020 was comparable to hell, planet K2-141b is here to prove you wrong. On the scorching hot planet, hundreds of light-years away, oceans are made of molten lava, winds reach supersonic speeds and rain is made of rocks.

The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius). Temperature changes slightly traveling through the atmosphere, growing cooler farther away from the surface. Lead would melt on the surface of the planet, where the temperature is around 872 F (467 C).

Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth.

Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies….Solar System.

Planets in Our Solar System

• Mercury. Mercury—the smallest planet in our solar system and closest to the Sun—is only slightly larger than Earth’s Moon.
• Venus. Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction from most planets.
• Earth.
• Mars.
• Jupiter.
• Saturn.
• Uranus.
• Neptune.

When we direct solar rays through a prism, we see all the colors of the rainbow come out the other end. That’s to say we see all the colors that are visible to the human eye. “Therefore the sun is white,” because white is made up of all the colors, Baird said.

As with all matter, the sun emits a “black body spectrum” that is defined by its surface temperature. So, the sun actually emits energy at all wavelengths from radio to gamma ray. But, as can be seen in the image above, it emits most of its energy around 500 nm, which is close to blue-green light.

Blue stars

The color of the Sun is a combination of orange and red. However, it is generally considered red in color. The Moon is pale white but it reflects the orange red rays of the Sun. Mars is of red color but it also reflects the yellow rays of the Sun.

Pluto’s visual apparent magnitude averages 15.1, brightening to 13.65 at perihelion. In other words, the planet has a range of colors, including pale sections of off-white and light blue, to streaks of yellow and subtle orange, to large patches of deep red.

TrES-2b (TrES-2 or Kepler-1b) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star GSC 03549-02811 located 750 light years away from the Solar System. The planet has been identified in 2011 as the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of any light that hits it.
