When you look at a map of the world, it probably has lines on it. The ones that go up and down is latitude, like a ladder. The other ones are long and are called longitude.

'Latitude' is an angle.

The latitude of a point on the Earth's surface is
the angle between the equator and that point.

Since the equator is located around the Earth's "middle",
latitude can be an angle either going north or going south
from the equator.

Latitude is never more than 90 degrees:

-- 90 degrees north from the equator is the north pole,
and you can't get any norther than that.

-- 90 degrees south from the equator is the south pole,
and you can't get any souther than that.

If a white dwarf or neutron star were to gain mass, it would _____.

Vanyuwa [196]

cA. grow larger

The mass of the star actually determines the stage of the star after supernova. If the mass of the star is small, then it would become a very small and dwarf, cold and dead body in space. The mass of the star has to be less than that of the sun. If the mass of the star is greater than sun, then it would become a black hole. The mass of the star has to be more than 1.4 times the mass of the sun to become a black hole.


Nebula is the cloud of interstellar dust and gas that forms a star. It is collborately shaped during colliding and collapsing of the interstellar mediums this is influenced by the gravitational attraction of the atoms and particles in the entites. Hence, there are three types of nebular namely, are classical nebula, diffuse nebula, planetary nebular and supernova remnants.

Because the ________

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Because the gravity of the Earth is pulling on air molecules and pressing it against the ground, our atmosphere is thinner and thinner the higher up you go.

Explanation:

Earth is a planet that has an active core, thus it has a reasonably strong gravitational pull. Gravity manages to keep all things on the surface of our planet and the ones that are in the atmosphere to pull them down or keep them near. This affects the atmosphere as well.

The atmosphere is composed of gases, all of which are made out of atoms and molecules. They are very light, so Earth is pulling them towards it. This has resulted in a situation where the majority of the gases are close to the surface, in the lowest parts of the atmosphere, and as we go up there is less and less of them, so the atmosphere is thinner and thinner as the elevation increases.
