The correct answer is C. Ozone

Explanation:

Ozone is a type of gas formed by oxygen that can be found mainly in the stratosphere that is the layer found from around 8km to 60 km above the Earth's surface. Additionally, the ozone is the gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation produced by the sun, also called UV radiation, this function of ozone is quite important because an excess in UV radiation causes burns in the living organism and leads to dagame in tissues. However, an excess of ozone can also lead to the greenhouse effect. According to this, it is ozone the component or gas that absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Question 14 Where (in relation to the Sun) are the four least dense planets? a) Farthest from the Sun b) Nearest to the Sun c) D
Crank

Answer:

d) <u>Distance and density are in exact agreement</u>

Explanation:

  • Distance From the sun is related to the density of the planets as most of the terrestrial planet have rocky cores and are made up of solid metals so, the density remains stable as the case of the earth having a density of 5.5g/cm cube.
  • Planets near to the sun like the mercury have a density of 5.4g/cm cube and planets away from the sun like Saturn have a density of 1.2g/cm cube and Jupiter has 1.3g/cm cube. Thus it can be estimated that the nearness to the sun impacts the amount of the gases and gravity the planets can absorb.
  • Four least dense planets are Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and Jupiter the farther we go density decreases as these planets tend to made entirely on gas and condensed icy crystals. As the solars winds blow away the gases from terrestrial planets

Why is a MSA an imperfect measurement for assessing a functional area?
daser333 [38]
<span>Any time you measure the results of a process you will see some variation. This variation comes from two sources: one, there are always differences between parts made by any process, and two, any method of taking measurements is imperfect—thus, measuring the same part repeatedly does not result in identical measurements.</span>
