Answer: The primary two methods by which planet are found around other stars are:
I) Direct images in visible and infrared light.
Explanation: This is viewing the star by seeing itself. This method is very tedious and difficult because of the light made up by the extrasolar planets around the galaxy.
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.
1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)
2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).
3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).
I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
Answer:Which Country First Adopted Time Zones? New Zealand is thought to have been the first place to adopt a country-wide standard time. Great Britain introduced the Greenwich Mean Time in the late 17th century.
Explanation:
North America, the third-largest continent<span>, extends from the tiny Aleutian Islands in the northwest to the Isthmus of Panama in the south. </span>
<span>North America’s </span>physical geography<span>, </span>environment<span> and </span>resource<span>s, and </span>human geography<span> can be considered separately.</span>
<span>North America and South America are named after Italian </span>navigator<span>Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not part of the </span>East Indies<span>, but an entirely separate landmass. The portions of the landmass that widened out north of the </span>Isthmus<span> of Panama became known as North America. oh and if this helped could you give me a brainlest please? Thanks have a nice day.</span>
