Astronomy(The study of things outside earth's atmosphere), Celestial…

- - - - Exoplanets(Planets orbiting other stars outside our solar system)
      - Evapotranspiration(Water evaporation from the soil surface into the atmosphere)
      - Regolith(Regolith is loose, unconsolidated rock)
      - Enceladus: An ice and ocean world, sixth largest moon of Saturn.
        
        SPT: South Polar Tip
        
        Tiger stripe: there are 4 parallel tiger stripes in Enceladus's SPT that eject water and ice.
        
        Tidal Dissipation: the conversion of gravitational energy of the moving water to thermal energy which can cause delamination, deformation, and friction against surfaces. (this affects the rotation and internal temperatures of celestial bodies)
        
        Tidal Heating: an orbiting or close object creates waves that create heat through friction
        
        Isopycnals: areas of water with the same density
        
        Plumes (Enceladus): They are made from tidal forces acting of the fault lines in Enceladus's crust that create enough heat to create plumes of water vapor and ice crystals.
        
        Orbilander: Nasa's proposed "flagship" for Enceladus, it would orbit for 1 and a half years then land on Enceladus
  - - - Microns(One thousandth of a millimeter.)
      - Heat Flux :amount of heat transferred per unit area per unit time.
