Answer:

<u>Time is measured in Lunar month </u>

Explanation:

  • The lunar month is the time the moon takes to pass through each phase i.e new moon to half and then to the full moon etc.  Taking about 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds to complete this rotation on its axis.
  • Thus the moon only takes 27.3 days to complete this action. Thus as the moon goes back in its orbit it takes 2.2 days to catch up. Moon also has the same elliptical longitude as that of the sun as seen from the earth's surface.
  • The motion of the moon is in an eastward direction along with the motion of stars, thus it shows the same face to earth every day. This is evident as it moves just 13 degrees in 24 hours.

Otoliths are small stones in the semicircular canals that shift when the head moves. Please select the best answer from the choi
viva [34]
This question actually refers to body parts: otoliths are small structures in your inner ears (in the semicircular canals, so this part is correct) that shift when you move - to help you sense your body position (so this part is also true).

But they're not exactly stones - they are small particles, so that's why the statement is false.

Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.
