In the middle latitudes, low-pressure systems are located over the __________during the summer as the surface heats quickly. How
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Tropics

Explanation:

  • The low-pressure system is an area where the air pressure is low and is formed under the areas of the wind divergence that occurs in the upper levels of the atmosphere.  
  • <u>Compared to the winter the high-pressure systems tend to form where the air is cool and sinks and are generally found in the polar areas and equator is the region that forms the convective currents zones and thus leads to the rising of the warm and the formation of a low-pressure system.</u>

it is possible for two stars to have different temperatures and different sizes but the same luminosity. explain how.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Two stars (a and b) can have the same luminosity, but different surface area and temperature if the following condition is met:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

Explanation:

The luminosity of a star is the total energy that produces in one second. It depends on the size of the star and its surface temperature.

L = σ(T^4)(4πR^2)

L is the luminosity f the star, T is the temperature of the surface of the star and R is its radius.  

Two stars can have the same luminosity if the relation between the radius and the surface temperature is maintained.  

To see this lets suposed you have 2 stars, a and b, and the luminosities of each one of them:

L_a = σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2)

L_b = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

you can assume that L_a and L_b are equal:

σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2) = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

Now, you can cancel the constants:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

as long as this relation between a and b is true, then the luminosity can be the same.
