<span>Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.</span>
(B) 2.25cm
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
At 40 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.1cm
At 50 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.4cm
Height of the bamboo plant after 45 hours = ?
The difference in length from 40 to 50 hours = 2.4 - 2.1cm
= 0.3 cm
Mean of 40 and 50 is 45.
Thus,
At 45 hours, the height will increase by 0.3/2
= 0.15 cm
Height at 45 hour = 2.1 + 0.15cm
= 2.25cm
Therefore, the height of the plant after 45 hours is 2.25cm
The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".
<u>Explanation:</u>
The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.
A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.
Ultraviolet light. It can cause skin cancer and that is why we wear sunscreen. We also wear sunglasses because some research has shown that it can damage eyes. Although it can be dangerous, it can also kill certain bacterias.
