Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transit of Venus - Grazing transits of Venus

Sometimes Venus only grazes the Sun during a transit. In this case it is possible that in some areas of the Earth a full transit can be seen while in other regions there is only a partial transit (no second or fourth contact). The last transit of this type was on December 6th, 1631, while the next such transit will occur on December 13th, 2611. It is also possible that a transit of Venus can be seen in some parts of the world as a partial transit, while in others Venus misses the Sun. Such a transit last occurred on November 19th, 541BC, and th ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transit of Venus - Scientific interest in transits

Apart from its rarity, the original scientific interest in observing a transit of Venus was that it could be used to determine the size of the solar system. The technique is to make precise observations of the slight difference in the time of either the start or the end of the transit from widely separated points on the Earth. The distance between the points on the Earth can then be used as a yard stick for the distance to Venus and the Sun. See "parallax". Although by the 17th century astronomers could calculate each planet's relativ ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transit of Venus - Simultaneous transits

The simultaneous occurrence of a transit of Mercury and a transit of Venus is possible, but only in the distant future. Such an event will next occur only in the years 69163 and 224508. The simultaneous occurrence of a solar eclipse and a transit of Venus is currently possible, but very rare. The next solar eclipse occurring during a transit of Venus will be on April 5 15232. Only 5 hours after the transit of Venus on June 4, 1769 there was a total solar eclipse, which was visible in Northern America, Europe and Northern Asia almost as partial solar eclipse. This was the lowest time difference between a trans ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Phase transition - Classification of phase transitions

Phase transition - Ehrenfest classification. The first attempt at classifying phase transitions was the Ehrenfest classification scheme, which grouped phase transitions based on the degree of non-analyticity involved. Though useful, Ehrenfest's classification is flawed, as we will discuss in the next section. Under this scheme, phase transitions were labelled by the lowest derivative of the free energy that is discontinuous at the transition. First-order phase transitions exhibit a discontinu ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Frankfurt Transit - Rapid Transit

Frankfurt itself is the central city of the so called Rhein-Main-Region, and therefore the service caters for a large number of commuters from the suburbs each day. The urban Light Rail service is provided by the Rapid Transit Trains (S-Bahn). All but one of the lines run together in a single underground section through the city centre, and then fan out at either end. In the suburban sections they are generally single-tracked or share mainline tracks with other ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - GO Transit - Connections

Many municipal transit systems connect with GO Trains. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) provides the most connections with GO Trains and convenient connections can be made between the trains and TTC buses, streetcars, and subway trains. Immediately adjacent to the GO concourse at Union Station is the Union station on the TTC's Yonge-University Spadina subway line. Connections at Union Station with the TTC's Harbourfront (509) and Spadin ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Phase transition - Properties of phase transitions

Phase transition - Critical points. In systems containing liquid and gaseous phases, there exist a special combination of pressure and temperature, known as the critical point, at which the transition between liquid and gas becomes a second-order transition. Near the critical point, the fluid is sufficiently hot and compressed that the distinction between the liquid and gaseous phases is almost non-existent. This is associated with the phenomenon of critical opalescence, a milky appearance of the liquid, due to density fluctuat ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transitional fossil - Transitional forms and cladistics

Before the general acceptance of 'cladistics' or 'phylogenetic systematics' in paleontology, evolutionary trees were often drawn as the emerging of one group from another. The transitional forms were placed at the borders of these. With the establishment of cladistic methods, relationships are now strictly expressed in so-called cladograms, illustrating the actual branching of the evolutionary lineages. The different so-called 'natural' or 'monophyletic' groups form nested units that do not overlap. Within cladistics there is thus no ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transitive relation - Examples

For example, "is greater than" and "is equal to" are transitive relations: if a = b and b = c, then a = c. On the other hand, "is the mother of" is not a transitive relation, because if Alice is the mother of Brenda, and Brenda is the mother of Claire, then Alice is not the mother of Claire. Examples of transitive relations include: "is equal to" (equality) "is a subset of" (set inclusion) "is less than" and "is less than or equal to" (ineq ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - GO Transit - History

GO Transit was created and funded by the provincial government in 1967 as Government of Ontario Transit (hence the acronym 'GO') and was financed entirely by the Province of Ontario until the end of 1997. The Province subsidized any operating costs that were not recovered through revenue, as well as all capital costs. Responsibility for the system was then transferred to the Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority (TATOA) and later to the Greater Toronto Services Board as part of the province's 'downloading' initiative, before finally returning to province as a Crown Agency under Gre ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Frankfurt Transit - Streetcar

There are 8 streetcar lines, with trams arriving usually every 10 min. Many sections served are served by 2 lines, combining to give a 5 minute frequency during rush-hour. The construction of the subways in the last decade has resulted in the streetcars losing some of their importance to the city's transport infrastruction. Despite this there have been two new sections constructed in recent years. It is now appreciated that streetcars are more attractive to the travelling public than busses and cheaper to build than subways. Therefore neighbourhoods with medium transit patronage are either currently served by ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Astronomical transit - Definition

The word "transit" refers to cases where the nearer object appears considerably smaller in apparent size than the more distant object. Cases where the nearer object appears larger and completely hides the more distant object are known as occultations. Cases where one object moves into the shadow of another are known as eclipses. Each of these three terms are the visible effects of a syzygy. One example of a transit involves the motion of a planet between a terrestrial observer and the Sun. This can happen only with inferior planets, n ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transition state - Introduction

A collision between reactant molecules may or may not result in a successful reaction. The outcome depends on factors such as the relative kinetic energy, relative orientation and internal energy of the molecules. Even if the collision partners form an activated complex they are not bound to go on and form products, and instead the complex may fall apart back to the reactants. ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transitional fossil - Misconceptions

It is commonly stated by anti-evolutionists that there are no known transitional fossils. According to evolutionary scientists, this position is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of what represents a transitional feature. A common creationist argument is that no fossils are found with partially functional features. It is entirely plausible, however, that a complex feature with one function can adapt a wholly different function through evolution. The precursor to e.g. a wing, might originally have only been meant for gliding, trapping flying prey, and/or mating display. Nowadays, wings can still have all of the ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Transit of Venus - Cultural meaning

In many cultures of the world, the transit of Venus across the Sun has been regarded as a rare and therefore an important event that marks major changes in human history. This is true for the Maya and other ancient American civilizations, for the Indian Vedic traditions and for the Western astrology of Mesopotamian origin. It has been claimed that a transit led to the ancient Greeks celebrating the Ancient Olympics every four years as a form of commemoration. The efforts of Guillaume Le Gentil to observe the transit of Venus in different parts of the globe, became the subject of the fictiona ...

Transit: Encyclopedia II - Mississauga Transit - History

MT was first operated by Travelways Limited as Mississauga Transit Systems with 4 buses in 1969, but it was acquired by the city's newly formed Mississauga Transit in 1974, incorporating the former towns of Mississauga, Port Credit and Streetsville. Services began on November 1, 1973. It later acquired routes, formerly operated by others such as; TTC's Port Credit 74 bus, in February 1976, that had operated on Lakeshore Road from Long Branch since 1935. This suceeded a former interurban railroad, dati ...
