The Earth takes (365 and 1/4) days to orbit the sun.  That's the length of our 'year'.

Since it's not really possible to make our calendar a quarter of a day longer every year, we make the calendar a <u><em>whole</em></u> day longer every 4 years.

So "Leap years" make up for the extra one-fourth day the Earth takes to orbit the sun.

Hubble law how did astronomers gather the information needed to establish the law?
Korvikt [17]
They measured the wavelength of light emitted by stars using spectrometers and found it was being redshifted.
This implied the stars were moving away aka the space between the scientists and the star was expanding

Why do you think it is a driving force of weather around the world?
Finger [1]

Answer:

The sun.

Explanation:

The sun provides energy for living organisms, and it drives our planet’s weather and climate patterns.

Remember, Earth is spherical and the energy from the sun does not reach all areas with equal intensity. Areas exposed to the sun are directly on the sun’s rays (i.e. those nearest to the equator) and hence, receive greater solar input. In contrast, those in higher latitudes receive sunlight that is spread over a larger area and that has taken a longer path through the atmosphere. As a result, these higher latitudes receive less solar energy.

Also, ocean circulation and precipitation are all factors of weather

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00
Elena L [17]

Answer:

2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

1979.99974\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C

Volume charge density is given by

\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

The volume charge density for the sphere is 2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3

E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 1979.99974\ N/C
