...composition and structure of the Sun - The Sun is massive. We can work out the mass of the Sun by measuring the size and period of the orbit of a planet such as Jupiter or the Earth. Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity can then be used to calculate just how heavy the Sun would need to be to keep the planet moving around its orbit. And when you do this you find that the...

...composition of the nucleus, although it does lose energy. Gamma emission usually occurs together with α- or β-emission and it is rare to get gamma rays emitted on their own. Because they have no mass or charge and high energy, γ-rays are more difficult to stop than β- or α-particles and it takes dense materials such as lead, or concrete, to absorb their energy and...

...composition of the water itself. Past Antarctic temperatures can be deduced from ice cores. Past temperature records have been constructed entirely from the relative amounts of oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 isotopes (see Study note: the central part of an atom). Water molecules in the ice have a proportion of all three isotopes of oxygen in them, and it has been shown that the...
