BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!!! Explain what Lunar phases are in specific detail in one paragraph.

Biology
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
4 0

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually and cyclically change over the period of a month (about 29.5 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.


The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth. This near side is variously sunlit, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Thus, the sunlit portion of this face can vary from 0% (at new moon) to 100% (at full moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres.


Each of the four "intermediate" lunar phases (see below) is around 7.4 days, but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Aside from some craters near the lunar poles, such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of daylight, followed by 14.77 days of "night". (The side of the Moon facing away from Earth is sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon", although that is a misnomer.)



Take what you want from that. Don't plagerize.

What distinguishes an amniotic egg from eggs laid by other animals, including fishes, amphibians, and invertebrates?
PIT_PIT [208]

The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage

<h3>Characteristics of an amniotic egg</h3>

Eggs laid by amniotes are different from other eggs laid by fishes, amphibians and invertebrates in that they lack a membrane and a larval stage. the shell of the amniotic egg protects the embryo in the absence of a membrane. The shell also allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the the embryo and the environment.

Hence we can conclude that The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage

What is bone remodeling and how is it used to determine age?
Blababa [14]
Bone remodeling is a process in which bone tissue is replaced by newer bone tissue. It can be used to determine age because we take the bone tissue that was removed from the skeleton and based on its structure we can determine at what age was it removed from the skeleton.
