During the storm a tree fell over into a river what might happen to the tree

1. Physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space.

2. Part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth.

3. An astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.

Hope that it helps :)
