Borrowing from the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the first ones
who tried to describe the brightness of stars with numbers ...

                        6 magnitudes  =  a ratio of 100 .

In more modern notation . . .

                       1 magnitude = ratio of    (100) ^ (1/6)

                                             =  about  2.154...

                 9.6 magnitudes  =  (100) ^ (9.6/6) 

                                             =  100¹·⁶ 

                                             =   1,584.89  (rounded)

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses
artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

Identify the correct sequence for the formation and use of coal.
Zanzabum

The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.
