During a magnetic storm charged particles can be deflected from the outer magnetosphere directed along field lines into Earth s ionosphere where atmospheric atoms can be excited and ionized causing the aurora Orbit and rotationRotationMain article Earth s rotation Earth s axial tilt or obliquity and its relation to the rotation axis and plane of orbitEarth s rotation period relative to the Sun—its mean solar day—is seconds of mean solar time SI seconds Because Earth s solar day is now slightly longer than it was during the th century due to tidal deceleration each day varies between and SI ms longer Earth s rotation period relative to the fixed stars called its stellar day by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service IERS is seconds of mean solar time UT or h m s n Earth s rotation period relative to the precessing or moving mean vernal equinox misnamed its sidereal day is seconds of mean solar time UT h m s as of update Thus the sidereal day is shorter than the stellar day by about ms The length of the mean solar day in SI seconds is available from the IERS for the periods – and – Apart from meteors within the atmosphere and low orbiting satellites the main apparent motion of celestial bodies in Earth s sky is to the west at a rate of ° h min For bodies near the celestial equator this is equivalent to an apparent diameter of the Sun or the Moon every two minutes from Earth s surface the apparent sizes of the Sun and the Moon are approximately the same OrbitMain article Earth s orbit Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of about million kilometers every mean solar days or one sidereal year This gives an apparent movement of the Sun eastward with respect to the stars at a rate of about ° day which is one apparent Sun or Moon diameter every hours Due to this motion on average it takes hours—a solar day—for Earth to complete a full rotation about its axis so that the Sun returns to the meridian The orbital speed of Earth averages about km s km h which is fast enough to travel a distance equal to Earth s diameter about km in seven minutes and the distance to the Moon km in about hours The Moon and Earth orbit a common barycenter every days relative to the background stars When combined with the Earth–Moon system s common orbit around the Sun the period of the synodic month from new moon to new moon is



days Viewed from the celestial north pole the motion of Earth the Moon and their axial rotations are all counterclockwise Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and Earth Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun The orbital and axial planes are not precisely aligned Earth s axis is tilted some degrees from the perpendicular to the Earth–Sun plane the ecliptic and the Earth–Moon plane is tilted up to ± degrees against the Earth–Sun plane Without this tilt there would be an eclipse every two weeks alternating between lunar eclipses and solar eclipses The Hill sphere or gravitational sphere of influence of Earth is about Gm or km in radius n This is the maximum distance at which the Earth s gravitational influence is stronger than the more distant Sun and planets Objects must orbit Earth within this radius or they can become unbound by the gravitational perturbation of the Sun Earth along with the Solar System is situated in the Milky Way and orbits about light years from its center It is about light years above the galactic plane in the Orion Arm Axial tilt and seasonsMain article Axial tilt § Earth Due to Earth s axial tilt the amount of sunlight reaching any given point on the surface varies over the course of the year This causes seasonal change in climate with summer in the northern hemisphere occurring when the North Pole is pointing toward the Sun and winter taking place when the pole is pointed away During the summer the day lasts longer and the Sun climbs higher in the sky In winter the climate becomes generally cooler and the days shorter In northern temperate latitudes the Sun rises north of true east during the summer solstice and sets north of true west reversing in the winter The Sun rises south of true east in the summer for the southern temperate zone and sets south of true west Above the Arctic Circle an extreme case is reached where there is no daylight at all for part of the year up to six months at the North Pole itself a polar night In the southern hemisphere the situation is exactly reversed with the South Pole oriented opposite the direction of the North Pole Six months later this pole will experience a midnight sun a day of hours again reversing with the South Pole By astronomical convention the four seasons can be determined by the solstices — the points in the orbit of maximum axial tilt toward or away from the Sun — and the equinoxes when the direction of the tilt and the direction to the Sun are perpendicular In the northern hemisphere winter solstice currently occurs around December summer solstice is near June spring equinox is around March and autumnal equinox is about September or In the southern hemisphere the situation is reversed with the summer and winter solstices exchanged and the spring and autumnal equinox dates swapped The angle of Earth s axial tilt is relatively stable over long periods of time Its axial tilt does undergo nutation a slight irregular motion with a main period of years The orientation rather than the angle of Earth s axis also changes over time precessing around in a complete circle over each year cycle this precession is the reason for the difference between a sidereal year and a tropical year Both of these motions are caused by the varying attraction of the Sun and the Moon on Earth s equatorial bulge The poles also migrate a few meters across Earth s surface This polar motion has multiple cyclical components which collectively are termed quasiperiodic motion In addition to an annual component to this motion there is a month cycle called the Chandler wobble Earth s rotational velocity also varies in a phenomenon known as length of day variation In modern times Earth s perihelion occurs around January and its aphelion around July These dates change over time due to precession and other orbital factors which follow cyclical patterns known as Milankovitch cycles The changing Earth–Sun distance causes an increase of about n in solar energy reaching Earth at perihelion relative to aphelion Because the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun at about the same time that Earth reaches the closest approach to the Sun the southern hemisphere receives slightly more energy from the Sun than does the northern over the course of a year This effect is much less significant than the total energy change due to the axial tilt and most of the excess energy is absorbed by the higher proportion of water in the southern hemisphere HabitabilityA planet that can sustain life is termed habitable even if life did not originate there Earth provides liquid water—an environment where complex organic molecules can assemble and interact and sufficient energy to sustain metabolism The distance of Earth from the Sun as well as its orbital eccentricity rate of rotation axial tilt geological history sustaining atmosphere and protective magnetic field all contribute to the current climatic conditions at the surface BiosphereMain article Biosphere Coral reef and beachA planet s life forms inhabit ecosystems whose total is sometimes said to form a biosphere Earth s biosphere is thought to have begun evolving about Gya The biosphere is divided into a number of biomes inhabited by broadly similar plants and animals On land biomes are separated primarily by differences in latitude height above sea level and humidity Terrestrial biomes lying within the Arctic or Antarctic Circles at high altitudes or in extremely arid areas are relatively barren of plant and animal life species diversity reaches a peak in humid lowlands at equatorial latitudes

Natural resources and land useMain articles Natural resource and Land use Estimated human land use Land use Mha Cropland – Pastures – Natural forests – Planted forests – Urban areas – Unused productive land – Earth has resources that have been exploited by humans Those termed non renewable resources such as fossil fuels only renew over geological timescales Large deposits of fossil fuels are obtained from Earth s crust consisting of coal petroleum and natural gas These deposits are used by humans both for energy production and as feedstock for chemical production Mineral ore bodies have also been formed within the crust through a process of ore genesis resulting from actions of magmatism erosion and plate tectonics These bodies form concentrated sources for many metals and other useful elements Earth s biosphere produces many useful biological products for humans including food wood pharmaceuticals oxygen and the recycling of many organic wastes The land based ecosystem depends upon topsoil and fresh water and the oceanic ecosystem depends upon dissolved nutrients washed down from the land In Mha million km of Earth s land surface consisted of forest and woodlands Mha million km was grasslands and pasture and Mha million km was cultivated as croplands The estimated amount of irrigated land in was square kilometres sq mi Humans also live on the land by using building materials to construct shelters Natural and environmental hazards A volcano injecting hot ash into the atmosphereLarge areas of Earth s surface are subject to extreme weather such as tropical cyclones hurricanes or typhoons that dominate life in those areas From to these events caused an average of human deaths per year Many places are subject to earthquakes landslides tsunamis volcanic eruptions tornadoes sinkholes blizzards floods droughts wildfires and other calamities and disasters Many localized areas are subject to human made pollution of the air and water acid rain and toxic substances loss of vegetation overgrazing deforestation desertification loss of wildlife species extinction soil degradation soil depletion and erosion According to the United Nations a scientific consensus exists linking human activities to global warming due to industrial carbon dioxide emissions This is predicted to produce changes such as the melting of glaciers and ice sheets more extreme

expected to take place in developing nations Human population density varies widely around the world but a majority live in Asia By of the world s population is expected to be living in urban rather than rural areas It is estimated that one eighth of Earth s surface is suitable for humans to live on – three quarters of Earth s surface is covered by oceans leaving one quarter as land Half of that land area is desert high mountains or other unsuitable terrain The northernmost permanent settlement in the world is Alert on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut Canada ° N The southernmost is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica almost exactly at the South Pole °S Independent sovereign nations claim the planet s entire land surface except for some parts of Antarctica a few land parcels along the Danube river s western bank and the odd unclaimed area of Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan As of update there are sovereign states that are member states of the United Nations plus two observer states and dependent territories and states with limited recognition Historically Earth has never had a sovereign government with authority over the entire globe although a number of nation states have striven for world domination and failed The United Nations is a worldwide intergovernmental organization that was created with the goal of intervening in the disputes between nations thereby avoiding armed conflict The U N serves primarily as a forum for international diplomacy and international law When the consensus of the membership permits it provides a mechanism for armed intervention The first human to orbit Earth was Yuri Gagarin on April In total about people have visited outer space and reached orbit as of July update and of these twelve have walked on the Moon Normally the only humans in space are those on the International Space Station The station s crew made up of six people is usually replaced every six months The farthest that humans have travelled from Earth is km achieved during the Apollo mission in MoonCharacteristics Diameter km Mass × kg In astronomy and navigation the celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere of arbitrarily large radius concentric with Earth All objects in the observer s sky can be thought of as projected upon the inside surface of the celestial sphere as if it were the underside of a dome or a hemispherical screen The celestial sphere is a practical tool for spherical astronomy allowing observers to plot positions of objects in the sky when their distances are unknown or unimportant Contents Introduction Celestial coordinate systems History Star globe Bodies other than Earth Proper motion is the astronomical measure of the observed changes in apparent positions of stars in the sky as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System as compared to the imaginary fixed background of the more distant stars It was first physically measured individually in both seconds of time in right ascension RA or a and seconds of arc in declination Dec or d whose calculated combined value is the total proper motion µ expressed in seconds of arc per year arcsec yr or per century arcsec yr where arcseconds equal one degree Because most proper motions are much less than one arcsec per year most modern catalogues like the Hipparcos Index Catalogue HIP now express proper motion in terms of milliarcseconds per year mas yr where mas equals one arcsecond This measured sky motion is separate from the radial velocity measured in kilometres per second km s being the velocity moving toward or away from the observer as usefully obtained by the small Doppler shifts seen in starlight when using astronomical spectroscopy Knowledge of the proper motion and Doppler shift allow approximate calculations of a star s true motion in space in respect to the Sun Proper motion is not entirely proper that is intrinsic to the star because it includes a component due to the motion of the Solar System itself Due to the finite speed of light that is also constant without regard to whatever is the velocity of the emanating or reflecting source the instantaneous velocities of distant stars cannot be observed the observed proper motion reflects the velocity of a star relative to the Solar System at the time the light was emitted from that star Contents Introduction Examples Usefulness in astronomy History Stars with high proper motion Software See also References External links Introduction edit Over the course of centuries stars appear to maintain nearly fixed positions with respect to each other so that they form the same constellations over historical time Ursa Major or Crux for example looks nearly the same now as they did hundreds of years ago However precise long term observations show that the constellations change shape albeit very slowly and that each star has an independent motion This motion is caused by the movement of the stars relative to the Sun and Solar System The Sun travels in a nearly circular orbit the solar circle about the center of the Milky Way at a speed of about km s at a radius of ± kPc from the center which can be taken as the rate of rotation of the Milky Way itself at this radius The proper motion is a two dimensional vector because it excludes the component in the direction of the line of sight and is thus defined by two quantities its position angle and its magnitude The first quantity indicates the direction of the proper motion on the celestial sphere with degrees meaning the motion is due north degrees meaning the motion is due east and so on and the second quantity is the motion s magnitude expressed in seconds of arc per year Components of proper motion on the Celestial sphere The celestial north pole is CNP the vernal equinox is V the star path on the celestial sphere is indicated by arrows The proper motion vector is µ a right ascension d declination position angle Proper motion may alternatively be defined by the angular changes per year in the star s right ascension µa and declination µd On the celestial sphere the coordinate of a corresponds to celestial longitude where all right ascensions are measured from the vernal equinox V the point on the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator on near March d corresponds to celestial latitude The components of proper motion by convention are arrived at as follows Suppose in a year an object moves from coordinates a d to coordinates a d with angles measured in seconds of arc Then the changes of angle in seconds of arc per year are The magnitude of the proper motion µ is given by vector addition of its components where d is the declination The factor in cos d accounts for the fact that the radius from the axis of the sphere to its surface varies as cos d becoming for example zero at the pole Thus the component of velocity parallel to the equator corresponding to a given angular change in a is smaller the further north the object s location The change µa which must be multiplied by cos d to become a component of the proper motion is sometimes called the proper motion in right ascension and µd the proper motion in declination If the proper motion in right ascension has been converted by cos d into either arcsecond or milliarcsecond the result is expressed as µa mu alpha asterisk i e the proper motion results in right ascension within the Hipparcos Catalogue HIP are expressed in the right ascension mas yr and therefore have already been converted Hence the individual proper motions in right ascension and declination are made equivalent for straight forward calculations of various other stellar motions Position angle is related to these components by Examples edit For the majority of stars seen in the sky the observed proper motions are usually small and unremarkable Such stars are often either faint or are significantly distant have changes of below milliarcseconds per year and do not appear to move appreciably over many millennia A few do have significant motions and are usually called high proper motion stars Motions can also be in almost seemingly random directions Two or more stars double stars or open star clusters which are moving in similar directions exhibit so called shared or common proper motion or cpm suggesting they may be

gravitationally attached or share similar motion in space Barnard s Star showing position every years – Barnard s star has the largest proper motion of all stars moving at seconds of arc per year Large proper motion is usually a strong indication that a star is relatively close to the Sun This is indeed the case for Barnard s Star located at a distance of about light years After the Sun and the Alpha Centauri system it is the nearest known star to Earth Because it is a red dwarf with an apparent magnitude of it is too faint to see without a telescope or powerful binoculars A proper motion of arcsec per year at a distance of light year corresponds to a relative transverse speed of km s Barnard s star s transverse speed is km s and its radial velocity is km s which is at right angles to the transverse velocity which gives a true motion of km s True or absolute motion is more difficult to measure than the proper motion because the true transverse velocity involves the product of the proper motion times the distance As shown by this formula true velocity measurements depend on distance measurements which are difficult in general Currently the nearby star with the largest true velocity relative to the Sun is Wolf which moves at km s or of the speed of light In Rho Aquilae became the first star to have its Bayer designation invalidated by moving to a neighbouring constellation – it is now a star of the constellation Delphinus Usefulness in astronomy edit Stars with large proper motions tend to be nearby most stars are far enough away that their proper motions are very small on the order of a few thousandths of an arcsecond per year It is possible to construct nearly complete samples of high proper motion stars by comparing photographic sky survey images taken many years apart The Palomar Sky Survey is one source of such images In the past searches for high proper motion objects were undertaken using blink comparators to examine the images by eye but modern efforts use techniques such as image differencing to automatically search through digitized image data Because the selection biases of the resulting high proper motion samples are well understood and well quantified it is possible to use them to construct an unbiased census of the nearby stellar population — how many stars exist of each true brightness for example Studies of this kind show that the local population of stars consists largely of intrinsically faint inconspicuous stars such as red dwarfs Measurement of the proper motions of a large sample of stars in a distant stellar system like a globular cluster can be used to compute the cluster s total mass via the Leonard Merritt mass estimator Coupled with measurements of the stars radial velocities proper motions can be used to compute the distance to the cluster Stellar proper motions have been used to infer the presence of a super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way This black hole is suspected to be Sgr A with a mass of × M where M is the solar mass Proper motions of the galaxies in the Local Group are discussed in detail in Röser In the first measurement was made of the proper motion of the Triangulum Galaxy M the third largest and only ordinary spiral galaxy in the Local Group located ± Mpc beyond the Milky Way Although the Andromeda Galaxy is known to move and an Andromeda–Milky Way collision is predicted in about – billion years the proper motion of the Andromeda galaxy about kpc distant is still an uncertain matter with an upper bound on its transverse velocity of ˜ km s Proper motion of the NGC M galaxy in the M group of galaxies was used in to find an accurate distance to this object Measurements were made of the radial motion of objects in that galaxy moving directly toward and away from us and assuming this same motion to apply to objects with only a proper motion the observed proper motion predicts a distance to the galaxy of ± Mpc History edit Proper motion was suspected by early astronomers according to Macrobius AD but proof was provided in by Edmund Halley who noticed that Sirius Arcturus and Aldebaran were over half a degree away from the positions charted by the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus roughly years earlier The term proper motion derives from the historical use of proper to mean belonging to cf propre in French and the common English word property There is no such thing as improper motion in astronomy Stars with high proper motion edit The following are the stars with highest proper motion from the Hipparcos catalog See List of stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue It does not include stars such as Teegarden s star which are too faint for that catalog A more complete list of stellar objects can be made by

proper motion of stars over differing time scales Two free ones are HippLiner – Freeware – Windows Moderately sophisticated with some pretty displays Still under development needs some more navigation and configuration features XEphem – Freeware – Linux and Apple OS X – complete astrometry package can view a region of the sky set a time step and watch stars move over time See also edit Radial velocity Peculiar motion Solar apex Leonard Merritt mass estimator Very Long Baseline Interferometry Galaxy rotation curve Celestial coordinates Milky Way See also The rotation curve of a disc galaxy also called a velocity curve is a plot of the measured magnitude of the orbital velocities i e the speeds of visible stars or gas in that galaxy versus their radial distance from that galaxy s centre and typically rendered graphically as a plot The measured rotation rates of those stars do not match the calculated rates which calculation is based on well known laws of physics A general feature of the galaxy rotation curves is that the orbital speed of stars and gas rises or is almost constant as far from the galactic centre as it can be measured that is stars are observed to revolve around the centre of the galaxy at increasing or the same speed over a large range of distances from the centre of the galaxy Given the observed mass distributions in galaxies the orbital speed should decline at increasing distances in the same way as do other systems with most of their mass in the centre such as the Solar System or the moons of Jupiter The rotation curves of spiral galaxies are also known to be asymmetric The observational data from each side of a galaxy are generally averaged Rotation curve asymmetry appears to be normal rather than exceptional The galaxy rotation problem is the discrepancy between observed galaxy rotation curves and the theoretical prediction assuming a centrally dominated mass associated with the observed luminous material When mass profiles of galaxies are calculated from the distribution of stars in spirals and mass to light ratios in the stellar disks they do not match with the masses derived from the observed rotation curves and the law of gravity A solution to this conundrum is to hypothesize the existence of dark matter and to assume its distribution from the galaxy s center out to its halo Though dark matter is by far the most accepted explanation of the rotation problem other proposals have been offered with varying degrees of success Of the possible alternatives the most notable is Modified Newtonian Dynamics MOND which involves modifying the laws of gravity Contents History and description of the galaxy rotation problem Halo density profiles Further investigations Alternatives to dark matter See also Footnotes External links Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but would account for most of the matter in the universe The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter on radiation and on the large scale structure of the universe Dark matter has not been detected directly making it one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics Dark matter neither emits nor absorbs light or any other electromagnetic radiation at any significant level According to the Planck mission team and based on the standard model of cosmology the total mass–energy of the known universe contains ordinary baryonic matter dark matter and dark energy Thus dark matter is estimated to constitute note of the total matter in the universe while dark energy plus dark matter constitute of the total mass–energy content of the universe Astrophysicists hypothesized the existence of dark matter to account for discrepancies between the mass of large astronomical objects determined from their gravitational effects and their mass as calculated from the observable matter stars gas and dust that they can be seen to contain Their gravitational effects suggest that their masses are much greater than the observable matter survey suggests Dark matter was postulated by Jan Oort in albeit based upon insufficient evidence to account for the orbital velocities of stars in the Milky Way In Fritz Zwicky was the first to use the virial theorem to infer the existence of unseen matter which he referred to as dunkle Materie dark matter More robust evidence from galaxy rotation curves was discovered by Horace W Babcock in but was not attributed to dark matter The first hypothesis to postulate dark matter based upon robust evidence was formulated by Vera Rubin and Kent Ford in the s– s using galaxy rotation curves Subsequently many other observations have indicated the presence of dark matter in the universe including gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet Cluster the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies and more recently the pattern of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background According to consensus among cosmologists dark matter is composed primarily of a not yet characterized type of subatomic particle The search for this particle by a variety of means is one of the major efforts in particle physics today Although the existence of dark matter is generally accepted by the mainstream scientific community some alternative theories of gravity have been proposed such as MOND and TeVeS which try to account for the anomalous observations without requiring additional matter However these theories cannot account for the properties of galaxy clusters Contents Overview Baryonic and nonbaryonic dark matter Observational evidence Galaxy rotation curves Velocity dispersions of galaxies Galaxy clusters and gravitational

top and when the CMB was released bottom Dark matter s existence is inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter and gravitational lensing of background radiation and was originally hypothesized to account for discrepancies between calculations of the mass of galaxies clusters of galaxies and the entire universe made through dynamical and general relativistic means and calculations based on the mass of the visible luminous matter these objects contain stars and the gas and dust of the interstellar and intergalactic medium The most widely accepted explanation for these phenomena is that dark matter exists and that it is most probably composed of weakly interacting massive particles WIMPs that interact only through gravity and the weak force Alternative explanations have been proposed and there is not yet sufficient experimental evidence to determine whether any of them are correct Many experiments to detect proposed dark matter particles through non gravitational means are under way One other theory suggests the existence of a Hidden Valley a parallel world made of dark matter having very little in common with matter we know and that could only interact with our visible universe through gravity According to observations of structures larger than star systems as well as Big Bang cosmology interpreted under the Friedmann equations and the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric dark matter accounts for of the mass energy content of the observable universe In comparison ordinary baryonic matter accounts for only of the mass energy content of the observable universe with the remainder being attributable to dark energy From these figures matter accounts for of the mass energy content of the universe and of the matter is dark matter Dark matter plays a central role in state of the art modeling of cosmic structure formation and galaxy formation and evolution and has measurable effects on the anisotropies observed in the cosmic microwave background CMB All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies clusters of galaxies and the universe as a whole contain far more matter than that which is easily visible with electromagnetic radiation Though the theory of dark matter remains the most widely accepted theory to explain the anomalies in observed galactic rotation some alternative theoretical approaches have been developed which broadly fall into the categories of modified gravitational laws and quantum gravitational laws Baryonic and nonbaryonic dark matter edit Play media Fermi LAT observations of dwarf galaxies provide new insights on dark matter There are three separate lines of evidence that suggest the majority of dark matter is not made of baryons ordinary matter including protons and neutrons
