Earth-Sun Relationships The Sun is the source from almost all of the Earth?s weather and climate. Earth intercepts 12000000000 (one two-billionth) of all the energy given off by the sun (this is several hundred thousand times the energy generation of the US). Solar energy isn?t evenly distributed; the amount of energy varies with latitude, time of day, and season. Unequal heating of Earth creates winds and ocean currents, which transport heat to balance energy inequalities; the consequences of these processes are called weather. If the Sun died, global winds and currents would stop; but if the Sun shines, the winds will blow and weather will exist. Variations in solar heating are caused by the motions of the Earth relative to the Sun and variations in the Earth?s land-sea surface.

Han Empire
The Han empire began in 206 B.C. when Liu Bang, prince of Han, defeated the Qin army in the valley of Wei. The defeat was part of a larger rebellion that began after the First Emporer's death. The people were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Qin leaders and their Legalist form of government. However, while traditional Chinese history portrays the Han as implementing immediate changes in government, evidence shows the Han continued to rule in the tradition of the Qin, and only gradually incorporated Confucian ideals into their Legalist form of government.

Washington's Farewell Address 1796 1796 Friends and Citizens: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made.
