Keywords, Images, Videos:

  1. Videos:
    1. Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS or on YouTube (Wikipedia: YouTube) Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS with poorer quality. Pretty spectacular. A time-lapsed set of images from the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts see the rolling by of the Earth much more slowly, and, of course, they don't see aurora and thunderstorms all the time. This is how Superman or Zeus might see world. Ordinarily too long for the classroom with a long load time, but it might make a good opening or closing video
    2. Aurora Australis from near McMurdo Station and Scott Base Nifty to look at, but not terribly informative. OK for classroom.
    3. Casino Royal
    4. In agua caliente I think those are just bits of paper. They should have about the same density as water so that they would float neutrally, neither rising or sinking in still water. The Spanish make the best convection videos. Short enough for classroom.
  2. albedo:
  3. aurora
  4. convection: Atmospheric circulation, Hadley cell, Jovian band structure Ferrell cell, polar vortices, Venusian circulation
  5. Galilean moons of Jupiter ♃
  6. moons
  7. Saturn ♄
  8. solar wind,
  9. magnetosphere: Earth's magnetic field, Earth's magnetosphere.
  11. climate: anticyclones, Coriolis effect, weather.
  12. Sun: Life phases, Sun's life phases
  13. impactors
  14. Penulum:
  15. solar wind
