  2. Helophilus pendulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helophilus_pendulus

    The abdomen is patterned with yellow, black and grey, and for this reason it is sometimes called the footballer. [3] It has a black central face-stripe. It has a wing-length of 8.5–11.25 mm (0.33–0.44 in). The tergites two and three are yellow patterned with black. The black pattern consists of a band across the apex of the tergite (on its ...

    Thus, the Sun occupies 0.00001% (1 part in 10 7) of the volume of a sphere with a radius the size of Earth's orbit, whereas Earth's volume is roughly 1 millionth (10 −6) that of the Sun. Jupiter, the largest planet, is 5.2 AU from the Sun and has a radius of 71,000 km (0.00047 AU; 44,000 mi), whereas the most distant planet, Neptune, is 30 AU ...

  4. Orbital pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_pole

    The north ecliptic pole is located near the Cat's Eye Nebula and the south ecliptic pole is located near the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is impossible anywhere on Earth for either ecliptic pole to be at the zenith in the night sky. By definition, the ecliptic poles are located 90° from the Sun's position.

    Illustration of different stars' internal structure based on mass. The Sun in the middle has an inner radiating zone and an outer convective zone. The radiative zone is the thickest layer of the Sun, at 0.45 solar radii. From the core out to about 0.7 solar radii, thermal radiation is the primary means of energy transfer. [74]

  6. Van Allen radiation belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt

    The gap between the inner and outer Van Allen belts is sometimes called the "safe zone" or "safe slot", and is the location of medium Earth orbits. The gap is caused by the VLF radio waves, which scatter particles in pitch angle, which adds new ions to the atmosphere. Solar outbursts can also dump particles into the gap, but those drain out in ...

  7. Poles of astronomical bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poles_of_astronomical_bodies

    The poles of astronomical bodies are determined based on their axis of rotation in relation to the celestial poles of the celestial sphere. Astronomical bodies include stars, planets, dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies such as comets and minor planets (e.g., asteroids), as well as natural satellites and minor-planet moons.

  9. Convection zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_zone

    These are the granular zones in the outer layers of the stars. A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable due to convection. Energy is primarily or partially transported by convection in such a region. In a radiation zone, energy is transported by radiation and conduction.
