So it might be better to tap the comet out of Earth's way with a small bomb, or by landing a rocket on it and firing its engine, or even setting up a sail that would be pushed by the gentle, but still considerable, pressure of sunlight.
While that is hard for me to quantify, I can say that, because my office has a rather thin curtain, I'm often in near-direct sunlight while working, and the difference is considerable.
Optical fibers used to transport sunlight exhibit considerable light leakage within their nominal numerical aperture.
In contrast, "albedo-modification technologies, which aim to increase the ability of Earth or clouds to reflect incoming sunlight, pose considerable risks and should not be deployed at this time," the panel says.
Mg-doped TiO2 polyscales showed considerable degradation efficiency under natural sunlight (65.6%), which attributed to the band tuning towards visible spectrum by doping of Mg in TiO2 structure.
This angle gets larger and larger as latitude increases, by the time you reach the poles the sunlight arrives at a considerable angle (the sun is low in the sky).
It is important for their habitat to have an open canopy, because bog turtles spend a considerable amount of time basking in the sunlight.
Overall, there is considerable underlying ignorance and confusion about the role of sunlight in vitamin D production, the benefits of sunlight, and the function and sources of vitamin D. Attitudes toward sunlight exposure are largely negative – many of the surveyed population disliked being in the sun and took measures to avoid sunlight.
Our results represent considerable progress toward a device that directly converts sunlight into ionic electricity, which has implications for direct solar desalination of salt water.
However, photoproducts are also known to be generated in vivo under sunlight exposure of the skin and lead to considerable amounts of adverse drug effects.
