Answer:

Apparent retrograde motion

Explanation:

Planets travel in an aparent irregular way. Their movement along the space from west to east, is interrupted during brief intervals of time by an apparent retrograde motion from east to west. This apparent retrograde motion is preceded by a speed decrease until planet stops, then, it goes back to a stationary position again and resumes its direct motion from west to east.

The planets move eastward against the background of fixed stars with the exception of Venus, Uranus and Pluto moving westward as seen in Earth's sky . This apparent retreating movement is called Retrograde motion. It is illusion created by Earth's movement going by outer planets in their respective orbits.

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance. i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$
