Hi, I’m Mina and this weeks SBC is all about science. I’m gonna go through the alphabet and name words related to science that start with the same letter I’m on.

A: Altitude (the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level)

B: Big Bang (the rapid expansion of matter from a state of extremely high density and temperature that according to current cosmological theories marked the origin of the universe.)

C: Chromosphere (a reddish gaseous layer immediately above the photosphere of the sun or another star. Together with the corona, it constitutes the star’s outer atmosphere)

D: Darwin (Scientist most known for his theory of evolution)

E: Electron (a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids)

F: Frequency (the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second)

G: Galaxy (a system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction)

H: Heliosphere (the region of space, encompassing the solar system, in which the solar wind has a significant influence)

I: Instrument (a tool or implement, especially one for delicate or scientific work)

J: Jupiter (Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System)

K: Kuiper Belt (a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, believed to contain many comets, asteroids, and other small bodies made largely of ice)

L: Light (the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible)

M: Mars (Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun)

N: Nebula ( cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter)

O: Orbit (the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution)

P: Photon (a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass)

Q: Quantum (a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents)

R: Radiation (the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization)

S: Satellite (an artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or moon or another planet in order to collect information or for communication)

T: Telescope (an optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer)

U: Universe (all existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos)

V: Vacuum (a space entirely devoid of matter)

W: Wavelength (the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave)

X: X-Ray (an electromagnetic wave of high energy and very short wavelength, which is able to pass through many materials opaque to light)

Y: Y-Axis (the secondary or vertical axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates)

Z: Zonal Wind (The component of a wind along a particular parallel of latitude)

Alright that’s a wrap. I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading!
