<span>Perigee is the word that describes the position in the moon's elliptical orbit when it is closes to Earth. The term that is quite its opposite is apogee.

What layer of the atmosphere contains almost 80% of the atmospheres total mass
irina [24]

Solution:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and contains the largest percentage (around 80%) of the mass of the total atmosphere.

The troposphere is the lowest major atmospheric layer, extending from the Earth's surface up to the bottom of the stratosphere. The troposphere is where all of Earth's weather occurs. It contains approximately 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere.  

The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height (at an average rate of 3.5 degrees F per thousand feet, or 6.5 degrees C per kilometer). In contrast, the stratosphere has either constant or slowly increasing temperature with height.  

Thus the right answer is troposphere.

V125BC [204]
There are a couple features unique to mammals, here are some:

1. Mammary Glands- evolved from modified sweats glands, these are used to create milk for offspring. Only females produce this milk.
2. Hair- this is an adaptation that provides insulation to keep the animal warm, provide protection of the skin, and sometimes camouflage the animal through the hair's color patterns.
3. Sweat glands- while being unique to mammals, they are not present in all of them. For example, whales do not have sweat glands at all because they live in the ocean!

How does hydropower and solar power work together?
KIM [24]

Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun and is captured by solar cells. These cells transform the energy of photons of light into electrical energy. One mechanism is the energization of electrons, here the energy of the photons is transferred to the electrons, which can already be considered electric energy.

As for the hydroelectric energy, here the waterfalls or rivers flow driving a turbine, which will transform the movement into usable electric energy as it rotates.
