Document Summary
Solar energy to earth and the seasons the energy from our sun set into motion the weather systems and the ocean currents that greatly influence our lives. It is this solar energy along with the suns tilt, orientation, revolution, and rotation that produce our daily. Our solar system condensed from a large, slowly rotating and collapsing cloud of dust and gas called a nebula. Gravity the mutual attraction exerted by the mass of and object upon all the other objects was the key force. Light travels 9. 5 trillion kilometers per year otherwise know as a light year. The moon is 1. 28 seconds away from earth in terms of light speed took apollo 3d. The ph says suns condense from nebular clouds with planets forming in orbits around the central mass. Speed of light = 300000 kmps or 186000mps. Our solar system is 11 hours in diameter at light speed. Milky way is 100000 light years from the side to side.
