For example, In physics, a phenomenon may be a feature of matter, energy, or spacetime, such as Isaac Newton's observations of the moon's orbit and of gravity, or Galileo Galilei's observations of the motion of a pendulum. Use in gemologyIn gemology a phenomenon is an unusual optical effect displayed by a gem.

In many games like cricket, golf, tennis and baseball, we notice that a spinning ball deviates from its parabolic trajectory as it moves through air. I know that this deviation can be partly explained on the basis of Bernoulli's principle, I already have text regarding this topic, I was just wondering if someone could explain the phenomenon in simpler words.

(this phenomenon is called boundary layer separation.) the faster the air is flowing, the separation point will be closer to the place at which the ball is widest. this… [cont.] Answered by nate - Tue Mar 21 20:35:52 2006 What can i create to represent ANY astronomical phenomenon?

From Earth, they appear as forms - the Big Dipper, Virgo, Scorpio, etc - but when viewed from a different angle, the stars are very far apart - and only *appear* close together when viewed from Earth. Get a box, and cut a "view port" of how the stars look from Earth. When you look in the top, however - you see the actual positions of the stars.
