Which of the following will allow you to learn something about a transiting planet's atmospheric composition? Which of the follo

wing will allow you to learn something about a transiting planet's atmospheric composition? Compare spectra obtained before and during an eclipse. Use the Doppler method to study the planet throughout a cycle from one transit to the next. Calculate the planet's size, and then use size to infer what its atmospheric composition must be. Look for slight variations in the time between transits.

Answer:

Compare spectra obtained before and during an eclipse

Explanation:

  • The passage of a planet between the star and the earth id called as a transit.
  • The compassion between the spectral variation obtained from the light emitted by the planet can be used to find the presence of the exoplanet.
  • The transiting planet has an atmosphere as some of the light passes from the sun and reaches the earth from the atmosphere of the planet.
  • The brightness goes on decreasing as the planet passes out in an eclipse phase.

Answer:

1. Focus

2. Aphelion

3. Ellipse

4. Semimajor axis

5. Perihelion

6. Eccentricity

Explanation:

In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.

The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).

Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.

Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.

The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.

Answer:

Renaissance

Explanation:

The intellectual basis of the Renaissance was its version of humanism, derived from the concept of Roman Humanitas and the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, such as that of Protagoras, who said that "Man is the measure of all things.

How does a volcano erupt
Nastasia [14]
When it's beneath the surface, the molten rock is called magma. When it reaches the surface, it erupts as lava, ash and volcanic rocks. With each eruption, rocks, lava and ash build up around the volcanic vent. The nature of the eruption depends on the viscosity of the magma.

6. What is the velocity of deep-water waves that have a wavelength of 46 meters and a wave period of
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

velocity = 7.30 m/sec

23 m depth wave will feel bottom

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 46 meters

wave period = 6.3 second

to find out

velocity and At what water depth will a deep water wave begin to feel bottom

solution

we get here velocity that is express as

velocity = \frac{wave\ length}{wave\ period}   .............1

velocity = \frac{46}{6.3}  

velocity = 7.30 m/sec

and

wave base = \frac{1}{2} × wavelength   .................2

wave base = \frac{1}{2} × 46

wave base = 23 m

here water depth more than 23 m will producer will circular wave less than elliptical wave

so 23 m depth wave will feel bottom
