Are other planets moving?

The earth moves around the sun along a fixed path called an orbit. The time it takes the Earth to complete this orbit is called a year. The earth also rotates on its axis. The time it takes to do this is called a day. The direction of the axis changes very slowly. This movement is called precession. Other planets also revolve around the Sun and around their axis, but their speed of rotation is different from that of the earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun at an average distance of 150 kilometers from it.

The Earth takes more than 365 days to complete its orbit. To complete a rotation around its axis, it needs a little less than 24 hours. Now let's look at other planets. The average distance of Mercury from the Sun is 58 kilometers, and it takes 000 Earth days to complete an orbit around the Sun. It is believed that Mercury rotates around its axis in 000-88 days.

Venus is located at a distance of 108 kilometers from the Sun. She needs 000 days to make one revolution around him. Venus takes 000 days to rotate on its axis, and it also rotates in a completely different direction. In other words, Venus is a planet rotating from East to West.

Mars, which is 228 kilometers away from the Sun, needs 000 days to complete its orbit, and it rotates around its own axis at about the same speed as the Earth.

Jupiter is 789 kilometers from the Sun, it takes 000 years to go around the Sun, but it rotates on its axis in less than 000 hours.

Saturn, at a distance of 1 kilometers from the Sun, takes 426 Earth years to complete its orbit. But it only takes 000 hours for it to turn on its axis.

Uranus is located 2 kilometers from the Sun and orbits it in 870 years.

Neptune is 4 kilometers away from the Sun. It needs 493 Earth years to complete its orbit.

Can you name at least one Irish saint?

Saint Patrick (385-461) is the patron saint of Ireland, but he was not born there at all and has nothing to do with the Irish family.

By nationality, he is British - from the north or west of the country. His birthplace is traditionally referred to as Bannavem or Bannaventa Taberniae.

For a very long time it was believed that this was an ancient settlement in the area of the River Severn or in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire, but the latest and rather convincing version is the village of Banwell in Somerset.

As a young man, Patrick was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. After six years, he managed to escape to the continent, where he became a monk. And then, many years later, Patrick returned to Ireland again, having seen a prophetic dream in which "Irish voices" asked him to bring the word of God to their homeland.

Ireland, however, has no shortage of homegrown holy talents.

Saint Brendan (4867-578?) was from County Kerry. He was born in the capital, the city of Tralee (Tralee), and in 512 he took the priesthood. An acclaimed Irish navigator, Saint Brendan is said to have reached America many centuries before Columbus (who, as we already know, did not).

Saint Columba (521-597) belonged to a very noble Irish family. After many years of wandering around the country, during which Columba preached sermons and founded monasteries, at the age of forty-two, he suddenly retires to voluntary exile on the island of Iona off the west coast of Scotland, where, along with other monks, he is engaged in missionary activities, converting the Picts to Christianity.

Saint Kevin (4987-618) was also the son of noble Irish parents. At the age of seven, he was sent to a monastery to become a priest. However, Kevin decided in his own way and became a hermit. By the time of his stay in the monastery, there is a famous legend about how a boy, during the whole Great Lent, motionlessly held a thrush's nest. On the first day of Lent, as Kevin knelt in prayer with outstretched arms, a blackbird sat on his palm and made a nest. During the entire post, he remained motionless so as not to disturb the nest, and the bird fed him with berries and nuts. By the end of Lent, the chicks hatched, and Kevin and his brethren celebrated Easter.

Saint Malachy (1094?-1148) was appointed abbot of Bangor in County Down, and by the age of thirty became Bishop of Connor and then Archbishop of Armach. According to legend, Malachi underwent a series of involuntary visions in which he "saw" every Pope, from the then-reigning Pope Innocent II to the pope who would rule during the Apocalypse. According to the prophecy of St. Malachi, the current pope, Benedict XVI, is the penultimate one.

Saint Oliver Plunket (1629-1681) was born in County Meath, studied with the Jesuits in Rome, and in 1669 was appointed Archbishop of Armach and Primate of all Ireland. In 1678, the Englishman Titus Oates accused Plunket of a fictitious conspiracy of Catholics who allegedly plotted to kill King Charles II. Plunket was charged with treason and sent to the gallows at Tyburn, where he was allowed to die before being gutted and quartered.

Saint Brigid (453?-523?), abbess of the first Irish nunnery she founded in Kildare, is known for miraculously turning used water from her bath into beer for the spiritual guests of the monastery.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Chameleon tanks 04.10.2016

In the Australian city of Adelaide, the annual exhibition Land Forces 2016 (Land Forces 2016), held by the Australian Department of Defense, took place. Particular attention at the exhibition was attracted by new technologies that allow tanks to change the color and structure of the camouflage pattern.

Despite the developments in the field of adaptive camouflage that have appeared in recent years, its use is limited to experiments related to the field uniform of fighters. And the camouflage of armored vehicles remains static, drawn on the object that it protects, with reference to the landscape and landscape of the theater of operations. To solve the problem, researchers at the University of South Australia, in collaboration with scientists from the Department of Defense Science and Technology Group, began developing adaptive camouflage for tanks using conductive polymers.

To do this, the armor would be coated with hermetically sealed electrochromic cells containing thin layers of polymer with an electrolyte between them. When an electric current is passed, the color of the polymer changes, and different shades can be achieved by changing the chemical structure of the polymers. The surface of the cells can be made from various materials, including glass, polycarbonate, or even polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron).

The main requirement for the application of this technology is the strength and low weight of electrochromic cells. Standard vehicle usage conditions assume normal operation in the temperature range of -40 to 80°C. In addition, the cells must withstand impact and scratches and withstand exposure to ultraviolet light. The work of Australian scientists is now focused on creating lightweight flexible cells up to 20 x 20 cm in size. They are attached to the surface of the tank with double-sided adhesive material and connected to the battery for power.
