REASON FOR THE CIRCULAR SHADOW

 What is the reason for the shadow appearing in a circle even though it is passed through another shaped object?

Introduction

       Hello peoples, do you notice that the shadow of an image appears to be a circle when the source or the object move away from each other do you know what is the reason for that you should know that light is not only an electromagnetic wave it also carries information of the source for example astronomer found the property and shape of a star is by the light from the star it carries in the formation of the star. You can do it at the home also take a piece of paper cut it in what shape you want to take a torch light (source) place the torch stationary and move the paper initially it appears in what shape you cut then move the object away it appears in round shape 

Reason

Now Imagine the experiment I said before instead of the torch we can use the sun now we compare it with a pinhole camera, here hole of the pinhole camera is the paper we have. On the screen of the camera, we get an image of an object. Now the object is the sun, which is round in shape and it has its own source of light. The shape we cut in the paper acts as the pinhole as I said before, compared to the size of the sun. What we get on the ground are numerous images of the sun, each corresponding to a different hole 

Conclusion 

When light rays travel a long distance they do so in a parallel line. Since the entire density of rays passes through the paper the shape of (sun) light corresponds to the shape of the prototype object from the light that emanates. Therefore the shape of the sun is a circle the shadow of the sunlight is also circular

WHY ARE AURORA VISIBLE IN NORTH AND SOUTH POLE ONLY ?

Hello People, Aurora is a beautiful phenomenon in nature and in physics, most of them know how aurora appears in short due to the charged particle emitted by the sun in the direction of the earth which in turn is endowed with the magnetic field of its own Now we can see why it is happening when the aurora reaches the earth, they get concentrated near the poles because of the strong axial magnetic field there. In another region of the earth, the magnetic field is weaker and so the aurora does not form although the emission of solar wind particles takes place uniformly Credit: rawpixel

MOONQUAKE

What is Moonquake? Definition Hello People, Moonquake is similar to an earthquake but it lasts for a long time up to 10 minutes. The causes of earthquake  movement in the tectonic plate but on the moon it is totally different mechanisms Types & Causes Meteoritic impacts Thermal quake Shallow quake 1. Meteoritic impacts It is caused due to the strike of meteoroids hitting the surface of the moon   2. Thermal quakes It is caused by the expansion of frigid crust by the sun's heat at 280degree C for two weeks and cool during lunar nights It is called deep quakes about 700Km below the surface  3. Shallow quake The shallow quakes happen at 20-30Km from the surface  According to NASA, the cool and rigid body of the moon is the reason for the moon quake  It lasts for a long time up to 10 min     "Moon quake set the moon to vibrate like a tuning fork" it is NASA 'S note on the moon quake  🌑 According to the apollo seismic network recorded 28 shallow q...
