70. Cube: It has a solid shape, it has six square sides which are all the same size.
71. Curie: It is a unit of radio-activity.
72. Cycle: Noun : A series of events or actions that repeat them- selves regularly; a physical and/or chemical process in which one Verb: To move through a repeating series of events or actions.material continually changes locations and/or forms. Examples include the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and the rock cycle.
73. Decibel: It is a unit of measurement. It measures the loudness of sound.
74. Decibel db: The unit used to measure the intensity of a sound wave
75. Degree: Evenly divided units of a temperature scale
76. Density: A property of matter representing the mass per unit volume
77. Diffraction: The spreading out of waves as they pass through an opening or around the edges of an obstacle.
78. Diffuse reflection: The reflection of parallel light rays in many different directions
79. Diffusion: It is the movement of atoms and molecules in gases and liquids.
80. Digital: It is a term meaning coded as number.
81. Dilute: Having a low concentration of solute
82. Diode: It is a term part of some electric circuits.
83. Direct current DC: Electric current that flows in one direction only
84. Docking: It is the mechanical coupling of two or more spacecraft.
85. Doppler effect: The change in perceived pitch that occurs when the source or the one who hears the sound is moving
86. Dynamo: It is a simple generator, or machine for transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy.
87. Echo: It is a sound which is reflected.
88. Eclipse: it is passage of an astronomical body through the shadow of another.
89. Elastically: It is an elastic substance which obey Hooke’s law. This means that if we stretch or compress a sample, it deforms (stains) in proportion. It returns to its original state when the stress ceases.
90. Electric cell: A device that produces electric current using the chemical or physical properties of different materials.
91. Electric charge: A property that allows one object to exert an electric force on another object without touching it. Electric charge can be positive or negative: positive charge is a property of the proton, while negative charge is a property of the electron
92. Electric current: A continuous flow of electric charge, which is mea- suredin amperes
93. Electric field: An area surrounding a charged object, within which the object can exert an electric force on another object without touching it
94. Electric potential: The amount of potential energy per unit charge that a static charge or electric current has. Electric potential is measured in volts and is often called voltage.
95. Electric power: The rate at which electrical energy is generated from, or converted into, another source of energy, such as kinetic energy
96. Electromagnet: A magnet that consists of a piece of iron or steel inside a coil of current-carrying wire
97. Electromagnet: It is a special coil of wire.
98. Electromagnetic spectrum : The range of all electromagnetic frequencies, in- cluding the following types (from lowest to highest frequency): radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays
99. Electromagnetic wave : A type of wave, such as a light wave or radio wave, that does not require a medium to travel; a disturbance that transfers energy through a field
100. Electromagnetism: Magnetism that results from the flow of electric charge
52. Climate: It is the long-term pattern of weather in a region.
