Physics; General physics

A compression of gas molecules; a pulse of increased density and pressure that moves through the air at the speed of sound.

Condensation (water vapor)

Physics; General physics

Where more vapour or gas molecules are returning to the liquid state than are evaporating.

Tiny particles such as tiny dust, smoke, soot, and salt crystals that are suspended in the air on which water condenses condensation point the temperature at which a gas or vapour changes back to a ...

Constructive interference

Physics; General physics

The condition in which two waves arriving at the same place, at the same time and in phase, add amplitudes to create a new wave.

Kepler's first law

Physics; General physics

Relationship in planetary motion that each planet moves in an elliptical orbit, with the sun located at one focus.

Kepler's second law

Physics; General physics

Relationship in planetary motion that an imaginary line between the sun and a planet moves over equal areas of the ellipse during equal time intervals.

Kepler's third law

Physics; General physics

Relationship in planetary motion that the square of the period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the major axis of the orbit.
