    that comes from the sun. Solar energy is a process in which solar rays or the heat that the sun gives off is collected by solar panels made up off cells called photovoltaic (Toothman). These cells are made of silicon in its crystalline form and other semi conductive materials combined with it. When the sun light hits the silicon, the heat causes the electrons in the material to start moving freely. Then an electric field causes these electrons to move in a form of a current. By conducting that current

    were on the hunt for Earth-like exoplanet. In order to figure out which planets are Earth-like we had to follow certain descriptions. For orbital parameters there was Msin(i) [mearth], semi-major axis [au], orbital period, and orbital eccentricity. Msin(i) means finding the minimum mass of the planet. Semi-Major Axis [au] means figuring out the radius of the planets orbit in astronomical units. Orbital period is the time it takes the planet to orbit its star in Earth days and orbital eccentricity shows

It made complete sense at the time because it did account for every planetary motion and it was what the church believed. Claudius Ptolemy came up with this model in about 100 AD for other works of Greek astronomers. Notably, he assumed each planet moved

Gravity is the reason why objects are on earth and not floating in space. Although some discoveries have been made about gravity there are still numerous unanswered questions. There are several scientists who are well known for their contribution to science, these scientists include Aristotle, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein

Community structure concerns all possible ways in which the members of that community relate to and interact with each other. This includes the community-level properties that emerge from these interactions, such as trophic structure, energy flow, species diversity, relative abundance, and community stability [1]. Ecological communities are one of the most complex systems that natural scientists
