Answer : The order of electromagnetic waves from highest to lowest energy is:

\text{gamma-rays}>\text{x-rays}>\text{ultraviolet-rays}>\text{infrared-rays}>\text{microwaves}>\text{radio-waves}

Explanation :

Electromagnetic waves : It is a wave in which two vectors are vibrating mutually perpendicular to each other and in direction of the wave. The two vectors are electric field and magnetic field.

The gamma-rays, x-rays, ultraviolet-rays, infrared-rays, microwaves and radio-waves are the electromagnetic waves.

The increasing order of electromagnetic waves in terms of wavelength will be,

\text{gamma-rays}

As, E=\frac{hc}\lambda}

According to the formula we conclude that, the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

That means higher the wavelength, lower will be energy and vice-versa.

The decreasing order or highest to lowest of electromagnetic waves in terms of energy will be,

\text{gamma-rays}>\text{x-rays}>\text{ultraviolet-rays}>\text{infrared-rays}>\text{microwaves}>\text{radio-waves}

OleMash [197]
A declination of 0 degrees means the star is on the celestial equator. The star therefore follows the path of the celestial equator across the local sky, which means it rises due east, crosses the meridian at an altitude of 90 degrees minus your latitude, and sets due west.

This means the answer would be:

Nearest the Horizon
latitude 70 degrees N
latitude 50 degrees N
latitude 40 degrees N
latitude 30 degrees N
latitude 10 degrees N
Farthest Above the Horizon

stich3 [128]
One key similarity would be that they all started off as colonial powers ruled by larger power in Europe. Most of these nations gained independence through revolution as well, while a smaller amount gained it by the European state giving the colony independence (canada, Jamaica), Cuba was also technically both (revolution against spanish to be ruled by America, given Independence by America). A big difference is that most of North america was ruled by the British and the French, while South and Central America were settled predominantly by the Spanish and Portuguese. This resulted in huge differences in culture, including language (English/french vs Spanish/Portuguese) and religion (Protestantism vs Catholicism).
