Which parameter best defines the primary difference between weather and climate?

Physics
1 answer:
LenKa [72]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

time

Explanation:

weather is the atmospheric condition of a place over a short period of time, while climate is the weather condition prevailing in an area over a long period of time. From the two definitions above we can see that weather is the condition over a short period of time while climate is over longer periods, therefore the primary difference between them is time.

Only some shortwave radiation from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface. What is the leading cause of this radiation loss? Only some
anastassius [24]

Answer: Reflection by clouds

Explanation:

Only some shortwave radiation from the sun reaches the Earth's surface because solar radiation is being reflected by  thick clouds and thin clouds transmit the  solar radiation.

About 31 % of solar radiation is reflected by clouds. The tiny water particle scatters 20-90 % of incoming sunlight giving them a bright white appearance.

Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball
pogonyaev
1. The signs of the velocities of the balls were changed, this is a result of the elastic collision between the two balls. The law involved in here is the Law of Interaction.
2. During the elastic collision, the momentum is conserved. 
3. The velocity would be lower. There is a tendency for these balls to stick together.

One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. This planet
Stels [109]

0.078 times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that planet is revolving around the earth so from the statement of centrifugal force, we know that any

               \frac{G M m}{r^{2}}=m \omega^{2} r

The orbit’s period is given by,

               T=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega r^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{G M}}

Where,

T_{e} = Earth’s period

T_{p} = planet’s period

M_{s} = sun’s mass

r_{e} = earth’s radius

Now,

             T_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}

As, planet mass is equal to 0.7 times the sun mass, so

            T_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}

Taking the ratios of both equation, we get,

             \frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}}

            \frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}}

            \left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2}=\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}

            \left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}

           \frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}

Given T_{p}=9.5 \text { days } and T_{e}=365 \text { days }

          \frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{365}{9.5}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\left(\frac{133225}{90.25} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}

         r_{p}=\left(\frac{1}{(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) r_{e}=\left(\frac{1}{12.82}\right) r_{e}=0.078 r_{e}
