  • Geological Timeline
    Geological Timeline In this pack you will find information and activities to help your class grasp the concept of geological time, just how old our planet is, and just how young we, as a species, are. Planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. We all know this is very old indeed, but big numbers like this are always difficult to get your head around. The activities in this pack will help your class to make visual representations of the age of the Earth to help them get to grips with the timescales involved. Important EvEnts In thE Earth’s hIstory 4600 mya (million years ago) – Planet Earth formed. Dust left over from the birth of the sun clumped together to form planet Earth. The other planets in our solar system were also formed in this way at about the same time. 4500 mya – Earth’s core and crust formed. Dense metals sank to the centre of the Earth and formed the core, while the outside layer cooled and solidified to form the Earth’s crust. 4400 mya – The Earth’s first oceans formed. Water vapour was released into the Earth’s atmosphere by volcanism. It then cooled, fell back down as rain, and formed the Earth’s first oceans. Some water may also have been brought to Earth by comets and asteroids. 3850 mya – The first life appeared on Earth. It was very simple single-celled organisms. Exactly how life first arose is a mystery. 1500 mya – Oxygen began to accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen is made by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) as a product of photosynthesis.

  • Calculating Percentages for Time Spent During Day, Week, Month
    Calculating Percentages of Time Spent on Job Responsibilities Instructions for calculating time spent during day, week, month and year This is designed to help you calculate percentages of time that you perform various duties/tasks. The figures in the following tables are based on a standard 40 hour work week, 174 hour work month, and 2088 hour work year. If a recurring duty is performed weekly and takes the same amount of time each week, the percentage of the job that this duty represents may be calculated by dividing the number of hours spent on the duty by 40. For example, a two-hour daily duty represents the following percentage of the job: 2 hours x 5 days/week = 10 total weekly hours 10 hours / 40 hours in the week = .25 = 25% of the job. If a duty is not performed every week, it might be more accurate to estimate the percentage by considering the amount of time spent on the duty each month. For example, a monthly report that takes 4 hours to complete represents the following percentage of the job: 4/174 = .023 = 2.3%. Some duties are performed only certain times of the year. For example, budget planning for the coming fiscal year may take a week and a half (60 hours) and is a major task, but this work is performed one time a year. To calculate the percentage for this type of duty, estimate the total number of hours spent during the year and divide by 2088. This budget planning represents the following percentage of the job: 60/2088 = .0287 = 2.87%.

  • How Long Is a Year.Pdf
    How Long Is A Year? Dr. Bryan Mendez Space Sciences Laboratory UC Berkeley Keeping Time The basic unit of time is a Day. Different starting points: • Sunrise, • Noon, • Sunset, • Midnight tied to the Sun’s motion. Universal Time uses midnight as the starting point of a day. Length: sunrise to sunrise, sunset to sunset? Day Noon to noon – The seasonal motion of the Sun changes its rise and set times, so sunrise to sunrise would be a variable measure. Noon to noon is far more constant. Noon: time of the Sun’s transit of the meridian Stellarium View and measure a day Day Aday is caused by Earth’s motion: spinning on an axis and orbiting around the Sun. Earth’s spin is very regular (daily variations on the order of a few milliseconds, due to internal rearrangement of Earth’s mass and external gravitational forces primarily from the Moon and Sun). Synodic Day Noon to noon = synodic or solar day (point 1 to 3). This is not the time for one complete spin of Earth (1 to 2). Because Earth also orbits at the same time as it is spinning, it takes a little extra time for the Sun to come back to noon after one complete spin. Because the orbit is elliptical, when Earth is closest to the Sun it is moving faster, and it takes longer to bring the Sun back around to noon. When Earth is farther it moves slower and it takes less time to rotate the Sun back to noon. Mean Solar Day is an average of the amount time it takes to go from noon to noon throughout an orbit = 24 Hours Real solar day varies by up to 30 seconds depending on the time of year.

  • Sidereal Time Distribution in Large-Scale of Orbits by Usingastronomical Algorithm Method
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 Sidereal Time Distribution in Large-Scale of Orbits by usingAstronomical Algorithm Method Kutaiba Sabah Nimma 1UniversitiTenagaNasional,Electrical Engineering Department, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract: Sidereal Time literally means star time. The time we are used to using in our everyday lives is Solar Time.Astronomy, time based upon the rotation of the earth with respect to the distant stars, the sidereal day being the unit of measurement.Traditionally, the sidereal day is described as the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation relative to the stars, and help astronomers to keep them telescops directions on a given star in a night sky. In other words, earth’s rate of rotation determine according to fixed stars which is controlling the time scale of sidereal time. Many reserachers are concerned about how long the earth takes to spin based on fixed stars since the earth does not actually spin around 360 degrees in one solar day.Furthermore, the computations of the sidereal time needs to take a long time to calculate the number of the Julian centuries. This paper shows a new method of calculating the Sidereal Time, which is very important to determine the stars location at any given time. In addition, this method provdes high accuracy results with short time of calculation. Keywords: Sidereal time; Orbit allocation;Geostationary Orbit;SolarDays;Sidereal Day 1. Introduction (the upper meridian) in the sky[6]. Solar time is what the time we all use where a day is defined as 24 hours, which is The word "sidereal" comes from the Latin word sider, the average time that it takes for the sun to return to its meaning star.

  • Physics: Sundial Science
    Physics: Sundial Science MAIN IDEA Discover how the sun and its shadow is used to tell time by creating a sundial – an instrument that tracks the position of the sun to indicate time of day. SCIENCE BACKGROUND For centuries humans, have utilized the power of the sun as a light source, to grow food, and to tell time. Ancient civilizations used the sun to understand basic astronomy. By tracking the height of the sun in the sky, these civilizations developed calendars for the year and were able to identify harvesting and planting seasons (fall and spring equinoxes) all by tracking the movement of the sun. This also helped certain civilizations find the Equator, an imaginary circle around the Earth that divides it into two halves, the northern and southern hemisphere. By tracking the sun’s apparent position through the creation of sundials, these ancient civilizations were able to divide the day into morning and afternoon. A sundial is a device used to track time by marking a shadow on its surface as the sun moves. Light travels as a wave, similar to waves in the ocean. Shadows occur when this light wave is blocked by an object, creating a dark silhouette of that object on nearby surfaces as light continues to travel all around the object. Based on where the light source is, and the object that is blocking it, the shadow will look different. This is why for a sundial, the shadow will change throughout the day and even more noticeably throughout the year for the same time of day.

  • Teacher Guide to BLOSSOMS Lesson: Geologic Time: the Ticking of Our Planet's 4.6 Billion Year Clock the Earth Is 4.6 Billion Y
    Teacher Guide to BLOSSOMS Lesson: Geologic Time: The Ticking of Our Planet’s 4.6 Billion Year Clock The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. That’s a hard number for anyone to conceptualize. What does 4.6 billion look like, and what happened during all those hundreds of millions of years between the formation of our planet and now? This BLOSSOMS lesson will help students conceptualize the enormity of geologic time and learn about important events in Earth’s history. An understanding of geologic time is essential to help students comprehend processes that occur over long time scales, such as evolution, mountain building, plate tectonics, and changes in the Earth’s climate. Thus, in this lesson, students will also learn how geologic time can help explain seemingly incomprehensible processes, like the formation of the Himalayan Mountains from a flat plain to their current height, and the evolution of a tiny group of reptiles into the enormous dinosaurs. Activity 1 – When Did the Dinosaurs Go Extinct?: After seeing Francis stand at three positions along the scale-model of the geologic timeline, students must pick which position represents the time when dinosaurs went extinct. This happened 65 million years ago, which seems like a really long time until you realize that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. So the correct answer is the closest position to the end of the timeline. Activity 2 – Building your own Geologic Timeline: During this break, students will make their own to-scale geologic timeline in the classroom or a nearby hallway. You will need a measuring tape or a meter stick.

  • Geologic Time
    MUSEUMS of WESTERN COLORADO EDUCATION Lesson1: Geologic Time This introductory lesson will give students an understanding of geologic time. The goal is to provide a context for the following lessons in terms of when events happened in relation to each other and present day. Student objectives: Students will be able to: Explain how the geologic time scale is used to organize the Earth’s history Design their own geologic time scales Describe major events in Earth’s history Determine how different events in Earth’s history relate to each other NGSS: MS-ESS1-4 Materials: Measuring tape, Sidewalk Chalk, Art Supplies, Major Events in Earth’s History handout, Geologic Timeline Quiz Time: 2-3 class periods Information relevant to geologic time for teachers: Geologic Time Scale Much has happened during the Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history. The geologic time scale is a way to organize the Earth’s past into different units based on events that have taken place. This is done by relating the stratigraphy (rock layers) to radiometric ages (see below). Absolute vs. Relative Dating The numerical (absolute) ages for certain rock layers obtained by using radiometric dating—a method that looks at the proportions of certain radioactive isotopes remaining in a sample. Samples can be either rocks or the fossils themselves. Radiometric dating is a reliable method because the unstable radioactive elements have a known half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay. During radioactive decay, the original isotope, called the parent isotope spontaneously converts to a new isotope called the daughter.
