From Earth, we can see 2 types of eclipses – eclipses of the Sun (solar eclipses), and eclipses of the Moon (lunar eclipses). These occur when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon align in a straight or almost straight configuration. Astronomers call this a syzygy, from the ancient Greek word syzygia, meaning to be yoked together or conjoined.

The term eclipse also finds its roots in ancient Greek – it comes from the word ékleipsis, meaning to fail or to abandon.

Eclipses, solar and lunar, have fascinated scientists and lay people for centuries. In ancient times, eclipses were seen as phenomena to be feared – many cultures came up with stories and myths to explain the temporary darkening of the Sun or the Moon. In recent centuries, eclipses have been sought after by scientists and astronomers who use the events to study and examine our natural world. Solar eclipses can only occur during a New Moon when the Moon moves between Earth and the Sun and the 3 celestial bodies form a straight line: Earth–Moon–Sun.

There are between 2 and 5 solar eclipses every year.

There are 3 kinds of solar eclipses: total, partial, and annular. There is also a rare hybrid that is a combination of an annular and a total eclipse. A total solar eclipse<span> occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun, as seen from Earth. </span>

The bones in a bird are hollow, reducing its weight for flight. This is an example of which characteristic of life?
dimulka [17.4K]

The bones in a bird are hollow, reducing its weight for flight, this is an example of ADAPTATION. The adaptive responses emerge as a consequence of different environmental pressures.

<h3>Adapatation and environment</h3>

Adaptation is an evolutionary process by which organisms adjust to the environment in which they live.

For example, the bones in a bird are hollow because this adaptive feature enables them to fly.

Adaptations are a consequence of the process of natural selection, i.e., the differential survival and reproduction of the fittest organisms.

in a series of experiments Griffith infected mi've with oa nonvirulent r strain bacteria and highly virulent s strain bacteria.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This demonstrate the transforming principle.

Explanation:

Griffith performed the experiment on the virulent bacteria and non- virulent bacteria. The non- virulent bacteria produce rough colonies and did  not cause pneumonia. The virulent bacteria produces smooth colonies that kill the mice and caused pneumonia.

When Griffith mixed the on virulent bacteria and heat killed virulent bacteria he found that the mice were killed. He concluded that there was transforming principle that turns the non- virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria from the heat killed bacteria. Something, has been transferred from the heat killed bacteria to the non- virulent bacteria. Later, he found that dead mice blood sample contained both the non-virulent rough bacteria strains and virulent smooth strains of bacteria.
