Description

satellites are the affected the worst by solar winds. Geomagnetic storms caused by solar winds are very strong and can destabilize or destroy power grids. They also affect all navigation and communication systems especially for vessels at sea. Aircraft communications and instruments in the aircraft will be susceptible to faulty functioning during geomagnetic storms.\n\nEffects on the Earth

Preview

Solar winds are geomagnetic storms that are formed by charged particles radiated by the outer atmosphere of the sun. These winds are said to develop within the center of the sun, which is a hot volatile core. All planets are protected from the sun's magnetic power by a magnetic field that deflects the power of the sun. The two effects of solar winds that manage to permeate the magnetic field are geo magnetic storms and disruption of communication and other satellites positioned in outer space

Atmosphereic Effects
The solar winds ejected by the sun's corona or center are highly charged magnetic particles that travel through the atmosphere at 400 km per hour. While each planet is protected by a magnetic field that deflects these charged volatile solar winds, the earth's convenient position away form the sun is also a factor that keeps us protected from the ill effects of solar winds. Planets positioned closer to the sun experience considerable degeneration of the magnetic field through the power of solar winds.

Outside Interferences
We suffer the effects of solar winds on earth today because of the number of communication satellites in outer space. The magnetic field of solar distorts and even destroys the functioning of communication satellites. Astronauts and cosmonauts suffer serious radiation related health conditions if they are caught in the path of solar winds. Radiation from solar winds is known to cause chromosome damage and cancer, and these conditions may be fatal for humans in outer space. Radio and television communication and satellite based internet services are disrupted by solar winds. Military satellites are the affected the worst by solar winds. Geomagnetic storms caused by solar winds are very strong and can destabilize or destroy power grids. They also affect all navigation and communication systems especially for vessels at sea. Aircraft communications and instruments in the aircraft will be susceptible to faulty functioning during geomagnetic storms.

I used a table of averages, disclosing the anomaly as it did not fit the general trend, therefore, I regarded that as unvalid data.













Analysis and Conclusion

Graphs

The graph clearly shows a negative correlation, which reflects the fact that as I increase the temperature, the diffusion rate decreases. This supports my hypothesis, which will be further stated in my conclusion. I have drawn a line of best fit, which identifies the fact that this is a non-linear graph. The reason for this curve occurring is because of the rate of diffusion of the anthocyanin is decreasing, as there is less left to diffuse as time goes on.


Conclusion

My hypothesis was correct, stating that the general trends in ...
