Lab #8: Heating and Cooling/Daytime Observation.
Lecture was conducted outside for this lab, so I'll just point out the terms you should be familiar with:
Albedo
: The reflectance of a planet or object.
Example: Snow reflects more light than dirt.
Conduction
: Heat transfer through molecular collisions.
Example: Touching something cold, and it cools down your hand.
Convection
: Heat transfer through circular mixing of hot and cold fluid.
Example: The roiling motion of a pot of boiling water.
Radiation
: Heat transfer through intensity of light.
Example: The warmth you feel from the sunlight hitting your face.
For the Daytime Observation part, here is the phase Venus would have appeared in:
It appeared to the right of the Sun.
