Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

[13] The Sun receives the energy it radiates by transforming hydrogen into helium in a fusion reaction at the Sun's core.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

This energy is transferred, first as short-wave X-ray radiation and further as longer-wave X-ray radiation, and finally as convection flow (thermal transition) to the Sun's surface.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

[14] The core core is the innermost part of the Sun where fusion reactions that generate the Sun's energy take place.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

[15] With the exception of the final stages of the Sun's lifespan, almost all of the Sun's energy is generated by nucleus fusion reactions in which hydrogen nuclei, or protons, combine into helium nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

Every second, about 600 million tons of hydrogen fuses into 596 million tons of helium.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

[18] Throbial The gas perimeter is divided into a relatively thin, inner colour ring, namely the chromosphere and the far-flung corona.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

The entire gas circle is so sparse that it is not visible to the naked eye at any time other than during solar eclipses, causing the chromosphere to appear as a thin red ring around the Sun.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

The thickness of the chromosphere is about 2000 km and its temperature is about 100000 kelvins.

[19] [20] The health effects of sunlight Sunlight is the most significant source of vitamin D in Finland in summer.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

UVB radiation from the sun turns 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin into a precursor to vitamin D3.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

However, the amount exceeding the physiological need of a person breaks down on the skin under the influence of sunlight, so an overdose of vitamin D from the sun is not possible.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

Vitamin D synthesis is highest near the equator, but in Finnish latitudes it only occurs during the summer months and even then only around noon.

A UV index has been developed to describe the vulnerability to combustion.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

Also, the sensitivity to burning of the skin varies in different individuals.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

sun

In blond persons, the formation of pigment that protects the skin is poorer, in which case sunscreens with higher protection factors or protective clothing that is light impermeable should be worn.


Question: How big is the sun relative to the Earth?

D'Arcy incident In 1904, the English Admiralty predicted that oil would in future overtake coal as fuel for ships of the English Navy.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

On this occasion, they found out that William Knox D'Arcy had obtained a valuable concession from the Persian government for oil exploration in the southern Persian regions and that he was also engaged in similar negotiations with the Turkish government on the oil rights of Mesopotamia.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

The Admiralty now initiated action to persuade D'Arcy to sell these rights to the English government instead of the French House of Rotschild, which had acted as rivals.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Lochardt describes in his book how Reilly, on commission from the Admiralty, sought out D'Arcy for his hands in the south of France.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly ascended the Rotschilds amusement disguised as a Catholic priest and managed to persuade D'Arcy, who had been on the yacht, to end negotiations with the Rotschilds and go to England to conclude a treaty with the Admiralty.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

According to Andrew Cook, however, at the time of the incident in February 1904, Reilly had been still in Port Arthur and D'Arcy's persuasion was in reality handled by William Melville and English intelligence officer Henry Curtis Bennett.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

However, soon after the D'Arcy incident, Reilly is known to have lived with certainty on the French Riviera near the place where the Rotschilds were moored, so that he may have been involved in some ways.

At the Frankfurt Aviation Exhibition, Lockhardt explains in his book how, during the 1909 Frankfurt International Aviation Exhibition (Internationale Luftschiffahrt-Ausstellung), Reilly acquired a new type of magneto recently developed by the Germans.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

On the fifth day of the show, a German aircraft crashed as the pilot was killed.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

A new type of magneto was used in the engine of the plane and, as soon as the accident happened, Reilly and another agent from the English Intelligence Service sprinted to the wreckage of the plane, removed the magneto from the engine without attracting attention and attaching another magneto to the site.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly's partner then examined the magneto and quickly made detailed drawings of it.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

They later returned the original magneto again to the wreckage of the plane taken to the aircraft shelter.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

According to Andrew Cook's research, there were no plane accidents during the aviation exhibition in question and the whole thing is therefore in this form a blaze.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly was indeed interested in aviation and participated in both the Franfurt Exhibition and also the 1911 Aviation Exhibition in Saint Petersburg.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

For this task, Reilly had learned to weld at a Sheffield metal works.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly was hired at the Krupp factory as a welder and he soon joined the factory's own fire department as well.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly convinced the plant foreman in charge of the fire department that the fire department would need the plant's floor plans to see the locations of water posts and fire extinguishing equipment.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

The foreman brought the floor plan to be seen by the fire brigades and based on the drawing, Reilly managed to find out where the plans for the weapons manufactured by the factory were kept.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

One morning, Reilly penetrated the office where gun drawings were stored by picking open the office door.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

In the middle of it all, the foreman surprised Reilly but Reilly managed to strangle him to death and could then usurp the plans.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

He immediately travelled by train from Essen to Dortmund and, upon reaching a safe place there, cut the papers into four pieces and then sent them as separate postal deliveries.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Even if one shipment had not arrived, the other three would be able to conclude the importance of the weapons plans.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Andrew Cook is skeptical of this case in his book, but notes that a person named Karl Hahn was actually employed by that factory at that time and the factory also had its own fire department.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Reilly and Sir Basil Zaharoff Richard Deacon's book History of the Russian Secret Service mentions that in April 1912 Reilly would have been commissioned by the Russian Ohrana to get acquainted with Sir Basil Zaharoff, a well-known international arms dealer, and to draw up a personal profile of him.


Question: What did Sidney Reilly die of?

Sidney Reilly

Reilly's biographer Richard B. Spence argues that in this case Reilly would have learned from Zaharoff a strategy called “le systeme” to play different sides in a conflict against each other in order to maximise their own financial gain.
