    Saturn Sky Red Line interior 2009 Saturn Sky. A Red Line model of the Sky was introduced on April 11, 2006 at the New York Auto Show.It uses the same 260 hp (194 kW) turbocharged Ecotec engine as the Pontiac Solstice, as well as the same standard 5-speed Aisin manual transmission.

  3. Seasons on planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasons_on_planets

    Given the different Sun incidence in different positions in the orbit, it is necessary to define a standard point of the orbit of the planet, to define the planet position in the orbit at each moment of the year w.r.t such point; this point is called with several names: vernal equinox, spring equinox, March equinox, all equivalent, and named considering northern hemisphere seasons.

  4. Dunkelflaute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute

    In the renewable energy sector, a dunkelflaute (German: [ˈdʊŋkəlˌflaʊtə] ⓘ, lit. ' dark doldrums ' or ' dark wind lull ', plural dunkelflauten) [1] is a period of time in which little or no energy can be generated with wind and solar power, because there is neither wind nor sunlight. [2] [3] [4] In meteorology, this is known as ...

  5. Magnetosphere of Saturn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere_of_Saturn

    Saturn's internal magnetic field deflects the solar wind, a stream of ionized particles emitted by the Sun, away from its surface, preventing it from interacting directly with its atmosphere and instead creating its own region, called a magnetosphere, composed of a plasma very different from that of the solar wind. [12] The magnetosphere of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape

    One classical thermal escape mechanism is Jeans escape, [1] named after British astronomer Sir James Jeans, who first described this process of atmospheric loss. [2] In a quantity of gas, the average velocity of any one molecule is measured by the gas's temperature, but the velocities of individual molecules change as they collide with one another, gaining and losing kinetic energy.

  7. Solar radiation modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_modification

    Solar radiation modification (SRM) (or solar radiation management or sunlight reflection methods [1] or solar geoengineering), is a group of large-scale approaches to limit global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight (solar radiation) that is reflected away from Earth and back to space.

  8. Space-based solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

    The collecting satellite would convert solar energy into electrical energy, power a microwave transmitter or laser emitter, and transmit this energy to a collector (or microwave rectenna) on Earth's surface. Contrary to appearances in fiction, most designs propose beam energy densities that are not harmful if human beings were to be ...

  9. Effect of Sun angle on climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_Sun_angle_on_climate

    The one at a shallower angle covers twice as much area with the same amount of light energy. Figure 1 presents a case when sunlight shines on Earth at a lower angle (Sun closer to the horizon), the energy of the sunlight is spread over a larger area, and is therefore weaker than if the Sun is higher overhead and the energy is concentrated on a ...
