Life phases
The sun today is roughly halfway through the most stable part
of its life, has not changed dramatically for several billion years,
and will remain similar for several more. However, before and
after this spell as a stable star burning hydrogen in its core, a
star is a very different object.

Earth

M.A. Kotb
About 71% of the surface is covered by salt
water oceans, with the remainder consisting of
continents and islands which together have many
lakes and other sources of water that contribute
to the hydrosphere. Earth's poles are mostly
covered with ice.

Moons average distance from the earth is 384,403 km. The moons
period of revolution is about 27.32 days long.
The average distance from the
Earth to the Sun is 150 million km.

What is wind?
Wind is air in motion. It is produced by
the uneven heating of the earths
surface by the sun. Since the earths
surface is made of various land and
water formations, it absorbs the suns
radiation unevenly. Two factors are
necessary to specify wind: speed and
direction.
As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too.
Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year
and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the
climate is colder. Warm air, which weighs less than cold air, rises.
Then cool air moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This
movement of air is what makes the wind blow.
