Saturn has 62 confirmed moons of which 9 are waiting to be officially named. Saturn's largest moon Titan is bigger than both Mercury and Pluto. Titan has a very thick atmosphere which is mostly nitrogen. Earth's atmosphere is also mostly nitrogen. Saturn also has many icy moons like Mimas which has a large crater that is 1/4 the diameter of the moon, and Enceladus which has very dark material covering one side and very bright material on the other side. Some of Saturn's smaller moons help keep Saturn's rings stable by orbiting in or near the rings. These moons are called "shepherd moons" and use their gravity to keep the small ring particles in a stable orbit. Some of the gaps in Saturn's rings are caused by these moons. More moons are constantly being discovered so check the NASA Saturn site for the latest.

A star appears to be red in the night sky. Is the star traveling toward the earth or away from the earth? How do we know this? (

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The star is travelling away from the earth.

Explanation:

A star’s temperature largely determines its color. Stars with higher temperature have a bluish color and stars with low temperature appear red in color. But the color of star that we observe from the earth is different from its actual color.

This variation in color is due to Doppler effect. When the movement of a star is towards the earth the frequency shifts to the higher frequency region and when the movement is away from the earth the frequency of the light emitted will shift to the lower frequency region. Color of light depends on the frequency. 

The color corresponding to the lower frequency region is red and color corresponding to high frequency region is blue. So when the star moves away from the earth it appears red in color.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Although humans and animals (technically “non-human animals”) may look different, at a physiological and anatomical level they are remarkably similar. Animals, from mice to monkeys, have the same organs (heart, lungs, brain etc.) and organ systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems etc.)

Humans have a heart with two atria and two ventricles that pushes blood in one direction. Some animals have hearts similar to humans but, other animals have only one atrium and one ventricle or a cardiovascular system that can push blood in two directions.

Memory for stimulus sequences distinguishes humans from other animals. Summary: Humans possess many cognitive abilities not seen in other animals, such as a full-blown language capacity as well as reasoning and planning abilities.
