- Earth and Moon Viewer .
- Welcome to Earth and Moon Viewer. Viewing the Earth.
- You can view either a map of the Earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude, from a satellite in Earth orbit, or above various cities around the globe. ...
- Images can be generated based on a full-colour image of the Earth by day and night, a topographical map of the Earth, up-to-date weather satellite imagery, or a composite image of cloud cover superimposed on a map of the Earth, a colour composite which shows clouds, land and sea temperatures, and ice, or the global distribution of water vapour. ...

3. Earth's Interior
- www.seismo.unr.edu
- Earth's Interior.
- of Nevada, Reno Five billion years ago the Earth was formed in a massive conglomeration and bombardment of meteorites and comets. ... Denser materials like iron (Fe) from the meteroites sank into the core of the Earth, while lighter silicates (Si), other oxygen (O) compounds, and water from comets rose near the surface. ...
- The earth is divided into four main layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. ... Most of the Earth's mass is in the mantle, which is composed of iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O) silicate compounds. ... Exploring the Earth's Core.
- How was the Earth's core dicovered? Recordings of seismic waves from earthquakes gave the first clue. ...
- Seismologists noticed that records from an earthquake made around the world changed radically once the event was more than a certain distance away, about 105 degrees in terms of the angle between the earthquake and the seismograph at the center of the earth. ... The Earth has to have a molten, fluid core to explain the lack of S waves in the shadow zone, and the bending of P waves to form their shadow zone. ...
- You can get a rough estimate of the size of the Earth's core by simply assuming that the last S wave, before the shadow zone starts at 105 degrees, travels in a straight line. Knowing that the Earth has a radius of about 6350 km, you have a right triangle where the cosine of half of 105 degrees equals the radius of the core divided by the radius of the earth. ...
- The fact that the Earth has a magnetic field is an idependent piece of evidence for a molten, liquid core. A compass magnet aligns with the magnetic field anywhere on the Earth, but other bodies like the Moon and Mars have no magnetic field. The earth cannot be a large permanent magnet, since magnetic minerals lose their magnetism when they are hotter than about 500 degrees C. Almost all of the earth is hotter, and the only other way to make a magnetic field is with a circulating electric current. Circulation and convection of electrically conductive molten iron in the Earth's outer core produces the magnetic field. ...

- Terra Mission Approaching Five-Year Milestone in Earth Check-up.
- On December 18, 1999, NASA launched Terra, its Earth Observing System (EOS) flagship satellite. In February 2000, Terra opened its Earth-viewing doors to begin one of humanity’s largest and most ambitious science missions ever undertaken — to give Earth its first physical check-up. In particular, the mission is designed to improve understanding of the movements of carbon and energy throughout Earth’s climate system.
