Solar time is based on the movement of the sun in the sky (time taken by the sun to appear in the same meridian in the sky) while the sidereal time is the time respect to motion of fixed stars in the sky due to the rotation of the earth. Sidereal time depends on the rotation of the earth on its own axis while the solar time is based on the earth orbiting on around the sun this creates the difference between the solar time and the sidereal day of about 4 minutes. The similarity is that both the earth rotation and the orbiting of the earth around the son takes place in same direction (anticlockwise direction). In addition the sun is considered to be star.

How is information passed from the retina to the brain?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

B. Sent through electrical signals

Explanation:

Information is passed from the retina to the brain via electric signals through the optic nerves. The optic nerves are a very important part of the visual system of the body in that they carry electric signals from the retina to the brain.

  • The brain therefore interprets the signal and conceptualizes it.  
  • Light on the retina stimulates the cones and rods which in turn generate electrical signals.
