3Solar rotation — can vary because the sun is composed of a gaseous plasma, and therefore may lack a fixed rotation rate. The rate of rotation is observed to be fastest at the equator (latitude φ=0 deg), and to decrease as latitude increases. The rotation rate is… …
4Solar Impulse Project — Solar Impulse is a long range solar plane project currently under study at the EPFL. The project is promoted by Bertrand Piccard, and aims at completely solar powered circumnavigation.The aircraft is intended to be a one seater, capable of taking …
5Solar time — On a prograde planet like the Earth, the sidereal day is shorter than the solar day. At time 1, the Sun and a certain distant …
6Solar tracker — A solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel or concentrating solar reflector or lens toward the sun. The sun s position in the sky varies both with the seasons (elevation) and time of day as the sun moves across the sky.… …
7Solar hour — Hour Hour, n. [OE. hour, our, hore, ure, OF. hore, ore, ure, F. heure, L. hora, fr. Gr. ?, orig., a definite space of time, fixed by natural laws; hence, a season, the time of the day, an hour. See {Year}, and cf. {Horologe}, {Horoscope}.] 1. The …
8Solar wind — For other uses, see Solar wind (disambiguation). The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of …
9Solar power satellite — A solar power satellite, or SPS or Powersat, as originally proposed would be a satellite built in high Earth orbit that uses microwave power transmission to beam solar power to a very large antenna on Earth. Advantages of placing the solar… …
10Solar cycle — The solar cycle, or the solar magnetic activity cycle, is the main source of periodic variation of all solar phenomena driving variations in space weather. [ [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/ssb/SSB Space weather97.pdf Space Weather: A Research …
