Answer:

0.9972

Explanation:

The sidereal day has a duration of 23 hours 56 minutes and  4 seconds approximately. The solar day has a duration of 24 hours. We have to convert the previous times to seconds:

Solar day:

24h*\frac{60min}{1h}*\frac{60s}{1min}=86400\\

Sidereal day:

23h*\frac{60min}{1h}+56min=1436min\\1436min*\frac{60s}{1min}+4s=86164s

Now, we calculate the fractional difference:

\frac{86164s}{86400s}=0.9972

vladimir2022 [97]
According to the Orthodox Christians all other Christians are Heretics. This means that they consider them to be nonbelievers, or that they do not believe in the faith in the right way. It's also interesting in the Orthodox Christians that in the biggest part of the believers the Bible doesn't play a big part in their beliefs and very small percentage have actually read it, instead it is more like cultural, traditional trait that they stick to it, and in most ways better then the other large fractions of Christianity indeed.

On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result,
MariettaO [177]
Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation called a C. rain shadow. As moist air moves landward, it will hit the mountain, which will force the air to move up. As moist air moves higher, it becomes cooler and thus releases its moisture thereby causing rainfall. Once what's left of the clouds passes over the top of the mountain, its moisture has been lost and a rain shadow is formed.
