Answer:

b. when the sun, Earth, and the moon are nearly in a line

Explanation:

Due to gravitational pull of sun and moon, the level of water in seas and oceans rises above its normal level. This is known as tides. Highest tides occur when the sun, the moon and the Earth align in a straight line i.e. during New moon and Full moon. This is because in this alignment, there is maximum effect of gravity. Tide occurrence during this phase are also referred as spring tides.

In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec

tino4ka555 [31]
NEPTUNE is the planet that takes the longest to orbit the Sun.

According to Kepler's law of harmonies, Planets closer to the Sun orbit it in a shorter time period than planets further from the Sun.

Planets arrangement from the Sun.
1) Mercury
2) Venus
3) Earth
4) Mars
5) Jupiter
6) Saturn
7) Uranus
8) Neptune
9) Pluto

So based on the given choices and arranged according to the longest to orbit to the shortest to orbit, the order would be: Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus
