A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).[1][2][3] The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.
In differentiated bodies, the surface is where the crust meets the planetary boundary layer. Anything below this is regarded as being sub-surface or sub-marine. Most bodies more massive than super-Earths, including stars and gas giants, as well as smaller gas dwarfs, transition contiguously between phases, including gas, liquid, and solid. As such, they are generally regarded as lacking surfaces.
Planetary surfaces and surface life are of particular interest to humans as it is the primary habitat of the species, which has evolved to move over land and breathe air. Human space exploration and space colonization therefore focuses heavily on them. Humans have only directly explored the surface of Earth and the Moon. The vast distances and complexities of space makes direct exploration of even near-Earth objects dangerous and expensive. As such, all other exploration has been indirect via space probes.
Indirect observations by flyby or orbit currently provide insufficient information to confirm the composition and properties of planetary surfaces. Much of what is known is from the use of techniques such as astronomical spectroscopy and sample return. Lander spacecraft have explored the surfaces of planets Mars and Venus. Mars is the only other planet to have had its surface explored by a mobile surface probe (rover). Titan is the only non-planetary object of planetary mass to have been explored by lander. Landers have explored several smaller bodies including 433 Eros (2001), 25143 Itokawa (2005), Tempel 1 (2005), 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2014), 162173 Ryugu (2018) and 101955 Bennu (2020). Surface samples have been collected from the Moon (returned 1969), 25143 Itokawa (returned 2010), 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu.
The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- <u><em>Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule </em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
no of moles of the oxygen gas = 0.692
Also given:
2 HgO → 2 Hg + 
where,
HgO represents mercuric oxide
Hg represents mercury
represents oxygen
To calculate:
Molar mass of HgO:
Molar mass of HgO = 216 grams
molar mass of mercury (Hg) = 200 grams
molar mass of oxygen (O) =16 grams
HgO = 200 +16 = 216 grams
We know;
2×216 grams of HgO → 1 mole of oxygen molecule
? → 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule
= 
= 298.944 grams of HgO
<u><em>Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule </em></u>

Explanation:
Steaming up or fogging happens when steam condenses on the mirror. Steam emerging from hot water can condense on a colder surface. That’s the reason you can see the result on a mirror instantaneously. Obviously, for a bathroom mirror to steam up, the steam that originates at the shower spray (or the bathtub) has to travel through the cooler air to reach the mirror. Since air tends to heat up easily, the mirror can steam up fast.
Change in velocity over time is acceleration.
You're finding acceleration .
Answer:
Air can be described as: Mass and Mixture of Gases
Mass is defined as how much stuff an object contains - and by stuff, I mean matter, like atoms and molecules. And even though you can't see it, air has a lot of atoms and molecules. Air is a gas (as opposed to a liquid or a solid) and contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon.
