Not exact matches

These particles are one of the most pervasive forms of matter in the Universe: they are created in the Sun and in supernovas, by cosmic rays crashing into the upper atmosphere, and they are even made on Earth, streaming out from nuclear reactors and radioactive rocks.

The material blasted out by an exploding star moves so quickly that it creates a shock wave which can accelerate protons and form cosmic rays.

«High - energy neutrinos are produced along with gamma rays by extremely high - energy radiation known as cosmic rays in objects like star - forming galaxies, galaxy clusters, supermassive black holes, or gamma - ray bursts.

Both would offer excellent mediums to be broken down by cosmic rays and gobbled up by a life form.

The acknowledged role of sunspots and cosmic rays in forming clouds has been fertile ground for climate deniers, who have cast doubt on whether anthropogenic climate change (in other words, change caused by humans) is occurring at all.

As forms of high - energy radiation, both primary and secondary cosmic rays may affect living things by causing changes in their genes, which control heredity.

On the dwarf planet, the reddish color is likely caused by tholins, which are formed when cosmic rays and solar ultraviolet light interact with methane in Pluto's atmosphere and on its surface.

Cosmic rays, which are accelerated toward Earth by distant supernova explosions and other violent events, are an important form of space weather.

«The results also show that ionisation of the atmosphere by cosmic rays accounts for nearly one - third of all particles formed, although small changes in cosmic rays over the solar cycle do not affect aerosols enough to influence today's polluted climate significantly.»

High - energy particles driven through the laboratory ceiling by exploded stars far away in the Galaxy — the cosmic rays — liberate electrons in the air, which help the molecular clusters to form much faster than climate scientists have modeled in the atmosphere.

A few years ago, Pierce and Adams modeled the potential cloud forming effect of cosmic rays and found it wanting by more than an order of magnitude, even when the most favourable assumptions possible were made.

But it was cold this winter and C02 is plant food and only a trace gas and the greenhouse effect has been disproved anyway and even if the greenhouse effect does exist, C02 has negligible impact compared to water vapour and our only source of heat is the sun so it must be the sun, unless it is due to the C02 from volcanoes, but C02 follows warming so it can't be the C02 and the medieval warm period was warmer anyway and all the temperature reconstructions that show this not to be true are produced by corrupt scientists being paid by corrupt governments that have colluded to create an excuse to form a one world unelected social - ist government and even if the scientists are not that corrupt, although the e-mails prove they are, they have still got it wrong as the climate sensitivity is not as high as they think it is because it is basically the planets orbits and cosmic rays so we can say for a fact that the warming that probably does not exist is definatley not due to humans and even if it was the evidence is not sufficient to make drastic changes to the economy and increase taxes so that the politicians and scientists and business leaders get rich and leave us all poor — do they think we are stupid or something?

Clouds form out of water vapor evaporated off the ocean, mostly within the tropical zone, and are not driven by cosmic rays via low solar activity.
