Elena L [17]

The answer is D) The atmosphere has no significant role in the phosphorus cycle, but is an essential part of the sulfur cycle.

Phosphorus is not abundant in the atmosphere. It comes mostly from the land and ocean. Phosphorus cycle through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, but not the atmosphere. The reason for this is that phosphorus cannot be found in the gas state, unlike the sulfur. On the other hand, sulfur cycle partially occurs in the atmosphere.

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × $10^{-9}$ (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km) into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × $10^{-9}$ )

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × $10^{-9}$ ) = 20.04 AU

Hope this helped!
