Unit 16 Astronomy and Space Science

This assignment covers the workings of the Sun, including its composition and functions, as well as an overview of planets in our solar system and other celestial bodies such as asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. It explores phenomena like moon phases, eclipses, and the influence of the Moon on tides, along with surface features of the Moon. Additionally, it discusses forces and equilibrium in the solar system, the Sun's impact on it, and solar phenomena like sunspots, nuclear fusion, and ph...

This assignment includes 3 sections on astronomy and space science, completed to distinction level. Section 1 focuses on the description of different planets of the solar system and their formation. Section 2 is on the special relationship (day and night, the moon and eclipses). Section 3 is on ‘here comes the sun’ (sun composition, analysis and sun death).

This assignment is on Unit 16 D from Applied science. It includes section 1 and section 2 from the assignment brief. Section 1 looks at the lifecycle of stars and section 2 looks at the big bang theory. The assignment is completed so it is at a distinction level.

This Documents is a distinction criteria assignment, it is supposed to be in a powerpoint. It covers the structure of the Earth and the structure of the Sun. The Kepler’s laws, nuclear fusion and the application of Einstain’s theory of specific relativity in nuclear fusion.

This document is assignment 3 in Unit 16 that explains spaceflight, number of types of spaceflights for example, flyby, lander and orbiter spaceflight, crewed or uncrewed spacecrafts, spacecrafts materials, fuels used in the spacecrafts, their escapes velocities, electric supply in space, importance of oxygen tank, hazards that are in space, radiation, distance from earth, isolation of the astronauts up in space, gravity fields, hostile closed environment, space debris, freezing temperatures, bu...
