<span>So we want to know how many satellites exist in Earth's orbit today. If by satellites we mean artificial vehicles made to orbit the Earth, then, according to Goddard Space Flight Center's list, there is 2271 satellite in the Earths orbit today. So the correct answer is 2271. </span>

Which bright solar feature is shown in the picture above?
Ghella [55]

Answer : (B) Prominence

Explanation :

A large, glittering and gaseous characteristic which is extending outward from the surface of the sun is called <em>Prominence</em>.

<em>Photosphere</em> is one of the layer of sun where the prominence are anchored and then they move into the corona of the sun.

<em>Corona</em> is a region in the surface of the sun which is the constituent of hot ionized gases (plasma).

The prominence consists of colder plasma and this prominence plasma is much more shining and denser as compared to coronal plasma.

Hence, the correct option is (B) Prominence.

Two planets, Dean and Sam, orbit the Sun. They each have with circular orbits, but orbit at different distances from the Sun. De
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San

Explanation:

Kepler's third law is an application of Newton's second law where the force is the universal force of attraction for circular orbits, where it is obtained.

                T² = (4π² / G M)  r³

When applying this equation to our case, the planet with a greater orbit must have a greater period.

Consequently Dean must have a period greater than San which has the smallest orbit

The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San

A particular spiral galaxy can be approximated by a thin disk-like volume 62 Thousand Light Years in radius and 7 Hundred Light
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.

Explanation:

Radius of the spiral galaxy r = 62000 LY

Thickness of the galaxy h = 700 LY

Volume of the galaxy = πr²h

                                   = (3.14)(62000)²(700)

                                   = (3.14)(62)²(7)(10)⁸

                                   = 84568×10⁸

                                   = 8.45\times 10^{12} (LY)³

Since galaxy contains number of stars = 1078 billion stars ≈ 1.078\times 10^{12}

Now volume covered by each star of the galaxy = \frac{\text{Total volume of the galaxy}}{\text{Number of stars}}

= \frac{8.45\times 10^{12} }{1.078\times 10^{12}}

= 7.839 Light Years

Now the linear dimension across the volume

= (\text{Average volume per star})^{\frac{1}{3}}

= (7.839)^{\frac{1}{3}}

= 1.99 LY

≈ 2 Light Years

Therefore, approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.
