A Sense of Proportion: Earth orbits 1 AU from the Sun, and the Oort Cloud extends from about 10,000 to 100,000 AU from the Sun.

If you represent Earth's orbit around the Sun with a paper plate 4 inches in radius, how far away will the inner edge of the Oort Cloud be? How far away will the outer edge of the Oort Cloud be? Express your answers in miles.

Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

  • If the Astronomical units is about 1 A.U which is = 1/2 plate then the diameter = 2 inches will be of  10,000 AU   2 X 10,000 = 20,000 inches.
  • Thus the 20,000 A.U / 12 = 1,666 feet   1,666 / 5280 = /3 of a mile  then the  10,000 AU  2 X 100,000 = 200,000 inches.
  • 20,000 / 12 = 16,666 feet  
  • 16,666 / 5280 = 3.2 miles

Explain why stratospheric ozone is important while ground-level ozone is considered a pollutant. What is the role of CFCs in str
zmey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stratospheric ozone is important because it acts as the blockade to harmful UV radiation directly from the Earth. If there were no stratospheric ozone then the life on the Earth was not possible because direct exposure to UV rays cause Skin cancer and many more health problems to humans and animals and plants. Thus, Stratospheric ozone is very important because it absorbs the penetration of harmful UV radiation as well as other harmful radiations. Whereas, the ground level Ozone becomes a harmful gas because it has adverse effect on the Human lungs. Old aged people, children, outdoor working people etc. mostly get effected in their breathing and taking smooth air from the environment.

The role of Ozone depletion in the stratosphere by the CFCs is very crucial because 1 molecule of CFC can destroy 100,000 molecules of Ozone by a simple chemical reaction in the presence of UV. More the CFCs in the environment and in the Stratosphere cause more Ozone depletion. And, this may lead to penetration of harmful UV rays into the Earth surface.

When the connection between CFCs and ozone depletion was well understood, many of the people (scientists, business persons, public, politicians) started to adopt the tecchnology which do not produce CFCs. Till few years ago, our refrigerator, AC and other instruments used to produce enough CFCs but, nowadays this has been significantly reduced. Similarly, the burning of plastics and other CFCs producing fuels has been banned or reduced. All the concerned authorities made strong rules to reduce CFCs in the environment and in the Atmosphere. And, this led to decrease in the depletion of Ozone on the stratosphere.
