Volumetrically, S.S. Earth is a 256-billion-cubic-mile
spherical vessel of 8,000-miles beam (diameter), having at all times 100
million of its approximately 200 million square miles of spherical surface
always exposed to the Sun -- with the other hemisphere always in nighttime shadow
-- bringing about enormous atmospheric, temperature, and pressure differentials
and all their resultant high-low weather-produced winds that create all the
waves thunderously crashing on all the trillions of miles of our
around-the-world shorelines. The atmospheric temperature differentials in turn
induce the electromagnetic potential differentials that transform the
atmosphere into rain-and lightning-charged clouds from Sun-evaporated waters of
the three-fourths-ocean-and-sea-covered Earth.
