The giant-impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Big Splash, or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon; about 20 to 100 million years after the Solar System coalesced. The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, from the name of the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon.

On a hot summer day the surface of the Earth is heated by the sun. The Earth's surface heats the air just above the surface through the process of conduction. The action of warm air rising and cold air sinking (convection) plays a key role in the formation of severe thunderstorms. If the warm surface air is forced to rise, it will continue to rise, because it is less dense than the surrounding air. In addition, it will transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection. Two of the most important ingredients for thunderstorm formation are instability (unstable air) and moisture.

The Vikings believed that the lights were reflections of the Valkyries' armor as they marched towards Odin. Some Inuits thought that the lights in the sky were the spirits of their ancestors dancing and the Greeks associated these lights with bad omens. Whatever the meaning the ancient people attributed to the lights, the Aurora Borealis is a sight to behold. With the advancement of the sciences, we know that the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights are caused by the Earth's atmosphere interacting with charged particles from the Sun during a solar flare. As the particles from a solar flare reach Earth, they are channeled along Earth's magnetic fields towards the North and South poles. These particles then interact with the atoms and molecules in our atmosphere, exciting and causing them to release photons. These photons are the lights that we see in the sky during an aurora. Their southern counterparts are known as aurora australis.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. As the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, Venus can cast shadows and, rarely, is visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.Venus lies within Earth's orbit, and so never appears to venture far from the Sun, setting in the west just after dusk and rising in the east a bit before dawn. Venus orbits the Sun every 224.7 Earth days.
