That's the familiar description of a comet.

If I were the amateur astronomer who discovered the new comet, then
according to the tradition of the astronomical community, I would have
the privilege of naming it.  I would call it  Comet AL2006/2016.

Answer:  C. comets.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are rocky objects majority of which are found in belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Example: Ceres
  • Dwarf planets are similar in composition to planets and are found in Kuiper belt. Pluto is a dwarf planet.
  • A comet has a solid rocky core surrounded by atmosphere of frozen gases. Comets are present in the outskirts of the solar system and orbit the Sun in an elliptical orbit.
  • Moons are are natural satellites revolving about planets. Example: Titan, Phobos and Deimos etc.

Object Z is made of frozen gases that surround a rocky core and it travels in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun.  The characteristics are similar to ones of comets. Thus, object Z closely resembles a comet.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × 10^{5}  = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h =  0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Leto [7]

Answer:

Object A and C (Second choice)

Let's observe one by one

#A..

Kupier belt is a belt associated at Neptune outerside similar to asteroid belt

  • Hence it's correct

#B.

Has enough gravity to keep other objects far away from its orbit

  • It's any planet or may be sun /star

No

#C

Is in orbit around the sun

  • Sure it's correct

#D

Is almost circular in shape

  • It's any planet or moons
