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.

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

What are 2 ways cells in our bodies use lipids?
BaLLatris [955]
Your body uses fats as a supply and store of energy: a gram of fat contains more than double the amount of energy present in a gram of carbohydrate. The steroids in your body include some hormones. Other lipids make up the outer layer of all your cells, and the fatty sheaths that insulate nerve fibres.

Which of the following could be considered the most recent common ancestor of living tetrapods? a) a sturdy-finned, shallow-wate
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:a) a sturdy-finned, shallow-water lobe-fin whose appendages had skeletal supports similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

An ancestor - An earlier type of a species at any distant time — a progenitor.

A tetrapod is any vertebrate with four limbs. It includes any vertebrate (such as birds or snakes) that have evolved from early tetrapods — especially all members of the superclass Tetrapoda.

The presence of bones that support the appendages in Lobe – fin fish were found to be similar to the categorical skeletal supports found in the limbs of sample tetrapods. The sub class crossopterygii includes the Lobe – fin fish, which is seen as one of the recent common ancestor of living tetrapod today.
