Planet

A planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), is a celestial body orbiting a star or stellar remains that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion in its core, and has cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals. The term planet changed from something that stimulated across the sky, to a body that orbited the Earth. When the heliocentric model gained sway in the 16th century, it became established that a planet was actually something that directly orbited the Sun. At the end of the 17th century, when the first satellites of Saturn were exposed, the terms planet and satellite were at first used interchangeably, although satellite would gradually become more common in the following century.

The energetic impacts of the smaller planetesimals will heat up the increasing planet, causing it to at least partially melt. The interior of the planet begins to differentiate by mass, mounting a denser core. Smaller terrestrial planets lose most of their atmospheres because of this accretion, but the lost gases can be replaced by out gassing from the mantle and from the succeeding impact of comets.

Reactance

Reactance is the invented part of electrical impedance, a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal alternating current. Reactance arises from the occurrence of inductance and capacitance within a circuit, and the SI unit is the ohm. The value of the reactance is a lower maximum value on the amount of the impedance. A positive reactance implies that the phase of the voltage leads the phase of the current, while a harmful reactance implies that the phase of the voltage lags the phase of the current. A reactance of zero implies the current and voltage are in phase and equally if the reactance is non-zero then there is a phase distinction between the voltage and current

Safety

Safety is the state of being safe, the situation of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or additional types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or reasonable losses. There also are two slightly different meanings of safety, a safety home may indicate its protection ability against external harm events, and the second that its internal installations are safe for its habitants.

Safety can be limited in relative to some guarantee or a standard of insurance to the quality and unharmful function of an object or organization. It is used in order to ensure that the object or association will do only what it is meant to do. Normative safety is a term used to explain products or designs that meet applicable design standards. Substantive safety stands for that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met. Perceived safety refers to the stage of comfort of users

Escalator

An escalator is a conveyor transport device for transporting people, consisting of a staircase whose steps move up or down on tracks that keep the surfaces of the individual ladder horizontal. As a power-driven, continuous moving stairway planned to transport passengers up and down short vertical distances, escalators are used around the world to move pedestrian traffic in places where elevators would be impractical. Principal areas of usage include shopping centers, airports, transit systems, convention centers, hotels, and public buildings.

They have the capacity to move large numbers of people, and they can be placed in the same physical space as set of steps. They have no waiting interval, except during very heavy traffic, they can be used to guide people towards main exits and they may be weather-proofed for outdoor use.

Festival

A festival is an event, usually dramatic by a local community, which centers on some unique aspect of that community. Among many religions, a feast or festival is a set of merriment in honor of God or gods. A feast and a festival are traditionally interchangeable. However, the term feast has also entered general secular parlance as a synonym for any large or elaborate meal. When used as in the meaning of a festival, most repeatedly refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival.
Festivals are many types, serve to meet specific social needs and duties, as well as to present entertainment. These times of celebration offer a intellect of belonging for religious, social, or geographical groups. Modern festivals that focus on educational or ethnic topics seek to inform members of their traditions. In past times, festivals were times when the elderly shared stories and transferred convinced knowledge to the next generation. Historic feast often provided a means for unity among families and for people to come across mates. Select anniversaries have annual festivals to celebrate previous significant occurrences.
