Sentences with phrase «even spin axis»

The formation of binary minor planets, tumbling action, and period change are most likely due to the YORP effect, which is a thermal process where absorbed sunlight, re-radiated as heat, can affect the minor planet's rotation period and even spin axis orientation.

Not exact matches

If anything, the time it took for the earth to spin once on its axis while it was still forming would have been significantly shorter, maybe even as much as only 6 hours.

Stapp is not suggesting that the actual results of spin measurements for one member of a pair of until - recently interacting particles will be affected by the choice of an axis for measuring the spin of the other member of the pair — even if this choice is made after the particles have ceased interacting.

In other words, the possible spin values (with respect to a given axis) for one member of a pair of until - recently interacting particles are not the same in case the spin of the second member of the pair is to be measured along one axis as they would be if the spin of the second particle were to be measured along another axis — even if the selection of the axis for the second particle can be made after the two particles have ceased interacting.

Do we have any data on the spin axis alignment of either Alpha Cent A or B so we can get a feel for whether to even expect transits?

Moreover, we show that using the integrated solid effect both for single - and double - quantum transitions nuclear spin polarization can be achieved even when the static magnetic field is not aligned along the NV's crystal axis.

In other words, even as the Earth spins on its axis in a west to east direction, completing a full rotation every 24 hours, that axis itself is also moving.

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..
