Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.

Do plants produce more oxygen than they need?​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make sugar and produces oxygen as a byproduct. Respiration uses oxygen to release energy from stored sugar and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. ... However, if the plants are growing, then over a period of 24 hours they will produce more oxygen than they consume.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

A and D

Dolphins have a narrow, torpedo-shaped body to swim easily through water. Their strong, paddle-like flippers also aid in strong swimming.

However dolphins do not secrete gases or attach themselves to the bottom of the sea, so the answers are A and D.

Good luck ^^
