C. one complete spin on its axis because the rotation is referring to the planet's period of rotation. D is called a revolution. B determines the seasons on the planets. A is called an ellipse.

Answer:

C. one complete spin on its axis            

Explanation:

A planet rotates about its axis as well as revolves around the star which is at the center of the star system, of which the planet is part of. In solar system, the 8 planets revolve around the Sun.

Period of rotation refers to the one complete spin of the planet about its axis. Period of revolution refers to the one complete orbit around the Sun.

For example, the Earth rotates about its axis in 24 hours where as it revolves around the Sun in 365 days.

What is a scale on a map?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
A map is almost always smaller than the place it describes. If a map of the US were drawn in its actual size, it would be 3,000 miles wide, and very difficult to fold. ... The scale of the map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the same distance on the real thing. ... If the map scale is 1 : 50000, then 1 foot on the map shows things that are actually spread over 50000 feet in the real city or field.

A single point charge q is located at the center of both an imaginary cube and an imaginary sphere. How does the electric flux t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric flux is defined as the flow of electric field intensity through a given surface.

Mathematically:

\phi=E.A.cos\ \theta

where:

E = electric field

A = area

θ = angle between the area vector and the electric field

Electric flux through the surface of a sphere will be uniform throughout the surface area due to a charge at the center of the sphere. The distance of the surface from the center is always at a constant distance of radius of the sphere.

Electric flux through the surface of a cube will be varying as the surface area is at a varying distance from the center of the cube. The distance of the surface from the center is not at a uniform distance from the center of the cube and so the projection of solid angle changes.

Answer:

The universal law of gravitation.

PE = m * G M / R^2  potential energy of mass m due to attractive forces

If the kinetic energy of mass m is greater than the energy due to the attractive masses then then mass m can continue indefinitely away from the attracting masses.
