Leni [432]3 years ago

Answer: The differences between terrestrial planets and the giant planets are s follows-

  1. The inner planets namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets, whereas the outer planets namely Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known as the outer planets.
  2. Inner planets are composed mainly of silicate materials as well as some metals, whereas the giant planets are comprised of water (in different states) and gases such as Hydrogen and Helium.
  3. The density of the inner planets are more in comparison to the outer planets, where earth has the highest of about 5.5 gm/cm³ and Saturn has the lowest of about 0.7 gm/cm³.
  4. Due to the location of the inner planets near to the sun, they have high boiling point, whereas outer planets are much far from the sun so they have a low boiling point.

djverab [1.8K]

The formation of the outer planets are affected by their distance from the sun with having them to maintain the lighter elements that they are composed of such as the hydrogen and helium, having them far away will also make their planet more cooler as the sun is distant from them.

Which soil horizon is located closest to the earth's crust?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: O horizon

Horizons refers to the distinct layers of soil lying parallel to the earth surface. Horizons develop as a result of soil formation. Soil forms as a result of weathering or rocks and addition of organic matter from the decomposition of plant and animal waste. Each horizon differs from the others on the basis of color, texture, type of particles present in the soil, type of minerals present and amount of organic matter present in the soil.

O horizon is the soil horizon that is located closest to the earth's crust. This horizon consist of undecayed or partially decayed animal and plant waste like shedded leaves, bark, animal skin and feces. As, the matter remains undecomposed, therefore, this horizon consists of low amount of organic matter and it is less fertile for plant growth.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh

E = 2.4 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh

E = 1.2 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80

total money saved in 1 year

Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80
