The ability to move
Climate
The average watcher in a particular region over many years
Temperature
A measure of how hot or cold something is
Rotation
That act of spinning or turning around a central point
Revolution
The movement of one object around another in an orbit
Axis
An imaginary line that a planet spin around
Solar angle
A material that is used to block or reduce the transfer, of heat electricity or sound.
Angle of incidence
The angle formed between the normal and the incidence ray at the point of incidence
Latitude
The distance north and south of the equator measured in degrees
Equator
An imaginary line around the middle of the planet or other celestial body
Radiation
Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material
Conduction
The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through substance when Ther is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between regions
Convection
The movement caused within fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material ro ride and colder denser material to sink under the influence of gravity which consequently results in Transfer of heat
Ocean current
Ocean currents are the continuous predictable directional movement of seawater driven by gravity wind (Coriolis effect) and water density
Tilt
The tilt of the earth affect the angle in which the sun is facing the earth . The tilt is also 23.5 degrees
Solar angle
Ocean currents
