Why on earth the sky is in blue colour but it is black on the moon?

Physics
1 answer:
Damm [24]4 years ago

This is beacuse it is caused by light scattering of light in the atmosphere. When the moon rises blue light is caused and scattered also caused by earth's atmosphere and it is black on the moon as there is no lunar atmosphere , so no light scattering.

Compare and contrast the lithosphere and the asthenosphere(3 different 2 similarities)
worty [1.4K]
Before comparing and contrasting these layers of Earth, we first define what lithosphere and asthenosphere are. 

Lithosphere primarily consists of the outermost layers of the Earth, which are the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle. Simply, the ground you stepped on is part of earth's lithosphere. On the other hand, asthenosphere comprises of hot and partially molten rock just located at the upper portion of the mantle but just below the lithosphere. Both have similarities and differences, which are as follows:

SIMILARITIES:
- Both are the passageways of earthquakes P-waves (Primary waves) just before it reaches the earth's surface.
- Both are made of the same material (Silicon oxide rocks, which are rich in iron and magnesium)

DIFFERENCES:
- Rocks in lithosphere can bend (it deforms, resulting in fault formations), however, rocks in the asthenosphere, not only bend but also flow (plastic in nature).
- Lithosphere has relatively low temperatures compared to asthenosphere.
- Due to its depth, pressure against rocks in asthenosphere is comparatively higher compared to lithosphere.

a. What is the peak wavelength for AM0? What temperature T corresponds to this peak wavelength for a blackbody source? Assuming
atroni [7]

Answer:

A) T = 5510 K , B)   I = 5,226 10⁷ W / m² , C)   I₂ = 1128 W / m²

Explanation:

A) The mass of air is defined as the ratio between the shortest path that sunlight must pass to reach the planet's surface and the length of the beam, is called AM

      Am = 1 / cos θ

The AM0 value corresponds to solar radiation in the outer part of the Earth's atmosphere.

The peak of this emission is the peak that emitted from the sun

       λ = 526 nm

To find the temperature that corresponds to this emission we use the Wien displacement law

       λ T = 2,898 10⁻³

      T = 2,898 10⁻³ / 526 10⁻⁹

      T = 5510 K

i) The radiance on the surface of the sun is

           I = P / A

We can calculate the potency by Stefan's law, for a black body

         P = σ A e T⁴

         P / A = σ e T⁴

The σ constant is value 5,670 10⁻⁸ W / m²K⁴, we will assume that the Sun emits as a black body, so e = 1

            I = sig T⁴

            I = 5,670 10⁻⁸  5510⁴

            I = 5,226 10⁷ W / m²

ii) the irradiation at a distance of 1 ua (1,496 1011 m)

Let's use the relationship

           P = I A

           I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

           I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

 

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π R²

Let's replace

         I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

  Index 1 corresponds to the sun and the index to Earth that is an astronomical unit

        r₁ = 6.96 10⁸m        (Sun radius)

        r₂ = 1,498 1011 m    (Earth-Sun distance)

Calculous

       I₂ = 5,226 10⁷ (6.96 10⁸ / 1,498 10¹¹)²

       I₂ = 1.1281 10³ W / m²

       I₂ = 1128 W / m²

What are two differences between gravity and air resistance
Natalka [10]

1. Air resistance force usually upwards, but gravity doenwards.

2. Objects are affected by gravity the same, but air resistance can affect the speed of an object's descent.

Sorry if im wrong

(forces and motion) in 2-3 sentences explain why velocity (or speed) is interesting
Mariulka [41]
‘velocity’ refers to how fast an object is moving ‘in a particular direction’. speed is only how fast something is moving and velocity is how fast something is moving AND the direction. (hope this helps)
