Venus becomes hotter because it has a very thick atmosphere. An atmosphere is a layer of gasses surrounding a planet or a moon. An atmosphere stops heat from escaping. Venus' atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's. It is mostly made of a gas that ic called carbon dioxide.

<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>

Two students, Nora and Allison, are both the same age when Allison hops aboard a flying saucer and blasts off to achieve a cruis

White raven [17]

Answer:

23.38 years

Explanation:

Speed of Allison = 0.83 c = v

Time passed according to Allison = Δt = 29.5 years

Time dilation

$\Delta t'=\frac{\Delta t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=\frac{29.5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.83^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=\frac{29.5}{\sqrt{1-0.83^2}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=52.88\ years$

For Nora 52.88 years would have passed

So, their age difference would be 52.88-29.5 = 23.38 years

Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the gl

kherson [118]

Answer:

0.04455 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m

Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m

Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs

First, we find the speed of the wave:

Speed, v = distance/time = x/t

v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s

Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v/λ

f = 289.58/6500

f = 0.04455 Hz
