1) majority of the 'dust' in the solar system has already been accreted millions, if not billions, of years ago by the planets and sun. There isn't a heck of a lot of loose matter left out there 2) Any planet with an atmosphere will burn up any non-gaseous matter 3) technically speaking, the other large bodies without atmosphere ARE still growing. But you'd probably have to wait hundreds of millions of year for that growth to even happen. Generally speaking EVEN though Earth does capture those space 'dust' things (about 40,000 metric tons of it each year),it's still to little to be noticed.

Earth is basically from matter, all the matter around the Universe came together to form Earth, the only way for Earth to grow much bigger is if there was an unlimited supply of matter, there isn't and therefore Earth cannot get much bigger than it is now.

Temperatures at high latitudes are usually lower than temperatures near the equator because _____.
Virty [35]
Temperatures at high latitudes are usually lower than temperatures near the equator because <span>the solar energy must be spread over a larger area.
</span>
<span>In the tropics, places near the equator, temperature is high because there is a net energy surplus. Net energy surplus occurs because the amount of sunlight absorbed is larger than the amount of heat radiated.

In the polar regions, places near the pole or high latitudes, temperature is low because there is an annual energy deficit. The annual energy deficit occurs because the amount of heat radiated to space is larger than the amount of absorbed sunlight.</span>

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

- As you move away from Venus, the sulfuric acid content increases.

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus primarily consists of CO2 along with sturdy clouds of sulfuric acid that covers the entire planet. This is the key reason that the more one goes away from the surface of the planet, the more there is an increase in the amount of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Thus, Venus is characterized as the hottest planet despite not being closest to the sun.

g Although the Humid Continental and Marine climates are at similar latitudes, they have very different annual temperature range
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

nearness to sea or ocean

Explanation:

Presence of water body is the factor that is responsible for the difference in annual temperature although the Humid Continental and Marine climates are present at the same latitudes. Marine climates are located near the water bodies such as ocean or sea while on the other hand, Humid Continental climates are located farther from the water bodies such as sea or ocean.

How does a closet Lake differ from an open Lake​
Sidana [21]

<em>open lake </em>is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea.

<em>closed lake </em>(see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes.
