Answer:

The asteroid's path is a trajectory path which could be called an orbit.

Explanation:

When an object moves along a curved path or circular path, a centripetal force is required to sustain it in the path. The forms atrajectory path in which the object continues to move when no external forces are applied.

The Sun applies a gravitational force (centripetal force) on the asteroid after it got bumped from the spot on Jupiter. This force applied constrained it to move in the long oval shape every 15 years continuously. The long oval shape is in a form of trajectory path which could be called an orbit. Therefore, we can say that the asteroid orbits around the Sun and completes the path every 15 years.

What is the global distribution of megacities
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

global distribution of megacities refers to the dispersion of a population of 10 million people or more in all parts of the world.

Explanation:

Global distribution  of megacities is usually determined by the number of people within a population which should not go below 10 million. these people making up the populations can be located in different locations, either in the cities or in the countryside. In January 2015, for example, China’s Pearl River Delta conurbation overtook Tokyo as the world’s largest city (Van Mead, 2016). However, this depends on how the ‘city’ is measured – the Pearl River Delta includes the cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan (but not Hong Kong, which is considered a separate territory under its ‘Special Administrative Zone’ status within China). If these cities were measured separately, Tokyo would likely remain the world’s largest city.
