Answer:

c) sixty degrees ahead or behind Jupiter, sharing its orbit about the Sun.

Explanation:

Trojan Asteroids are one type of co-orbital object. It is a small body that shares the orbit of a larger one, they remain in a stable orbit at approximately 60° ahead or behind the main body near one of its lagrangian points L4 and L5, they can share the orbits of planets or of large moons. Due to the perturbations by other planets, their distributions are elongated along the orbit, there are currently over 4,800 known trojan asteroids associated with Jupiter.

Location A receives
Vlad1618 [11]

Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
  • A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
  • The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
  • In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.
