DerKrebs [107]4 years ago

Answer:

C- The atmosphere is so thin that gas molecules rarely contact each other

Explanation:

The theromosphere is one of the several atmospheric layers of Earth. This layer the top one, thus it is the layer that sits on top of the other layers, and it also contact with the exosphere which is a transitional zone between Earth's atmosphere and space.

The name of this layer comes from the high temperature in it, reaching up to 1,000 C degrees. The temperature gradually rises with elevation.

This atmospheric layer is hot because the gases like nitrogen and oxygen absorb the solar radiation and then release thermal radiation. Weirdly enough, despite the very high temperatures, it actually doesn't feel hot at all in the thermosphere. The reason for that is that the atmosphere is very thin, the molecules of the gasses very sparsely distributed, so they don't collide with each other, so the heat can not be transferred.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The real observations are:

Moon rises in east, sets in west each day.

stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole

Positions of nearby stars shift slightly back and forth each year.

A distance galaxy rises in east, sets in west each day.

We sometimes see a crescent Jupiter.

Explanation:

Mercury it can seen from the Earth but no it phases.

Moon is seen in all parts of the Earth, the only difference is that in north pole the stars moves parallel to the horizon.

By the rotation of Earth the relative position of stars changes a little bit.

In the north pole a galaxy can be observed and in the south pole 2 galaxies.

Jupiter is one of the planets that can be seen from Earth in some seasons and it changes the position due to the rotation of planets around the sun.

A planet beyond Saturn is not possible to be observed from Earth just with the naked eye.
