Answer:

1-The longest a total solar eclipse can last is 7.5 minutes.

2-The width of the path of totality is usually about 160 km across and can sweep across an area of Earth's surface about 10,000 miles long.

3-Depending on the geometry of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, there can be between 2 and 5 solar eclipses each year.

4-A total solar eclipse can happen once every 1-2 years. This makes them very rare events.

5-Almost identical eclipses occur after 18 years and 11 days. This period of 223 synodic months is called a saros.

6-During a total solar eclipse, conditions in the path of totality can change quickly. Air temperatures drop and the immediate area becomes dark.

7-There is another type of solar eclipse, known as a hybrid eclipse, which shifts between a total and annular eclipse depending on where you view it from on Earth. These are comparatively rare.

8-The speed of the Moon as it moves across the Sun is approximately 2,250 km (1,398 miles) per hour.

9-If you are at the North or South Poles, you cannot view a total solar eclipse.

10-In ancient times, people thought an eclipse was a sign that the gods were angry or that bad things were about to happen.

11-During a total solar eclipse day time looks more like twilight.

Explanation:

Your welcome.

5-Each year there are between 2 and 5 solar eclipses.

6-The total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely obscures the Sun and leaves only the faint solar corona, is known as a Totality.

7-Total solar eclipses are rare, happening only once every 18 months.

8-Total solar eclipses produce harmful rays that can cause blindness.

9-If any planets are in the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light.

10-During a total solar eclipse, conditions in the path of totality can change quickly. Air temperatures drop and the immediate area becomes dark.

11- A solar eclipse can only occur when the Moon is close enough to the ecliptic plane during a new moon

Which of the following objects will exert the greatest gravitational force on a box, if the distance between them stays the same
Mumz [18]

Answer:

D). 8 kg mass

Explanation:

Acceleration of Falling Objects

Heavier things have a greater gravitational force AND heavier things have a lower acceleration. It turns out that these two effects exactly cancel to make falling objects have the same acceleration regardless of mass.

The greater an object's mass, the greater its gravitational force. The earth has a strong attracting force for objects with smaller mass (including the moon), and the sun has an attracting force on the earth and other planets in our solar system. ... The stronger the pull of gravity on an object, the greater its weight.
