The data table above includes the distance each planet is from the sun. Students in an Earth science class were asked to explain

how the effect of the Sun's gravity on Neptune compares with the effect of the Sun's gravity on Earth. Four student’s explanations are presented below. Which student’s explanation is best?
Question 19 options:


Student 1: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Earth because it is closer



Student 2: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is bigger



Student 3: The Sun has the same gravitational pull on all planets that are in orbit



Student 4: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away

Student 4

Explanation:

  • The sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away. Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center.
  • Gravity keeps all the planets in its position and allows it to move in its orbit.
  • The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects.
  • So when the distance increases, the force weakens. Since Neptune approximately 4.8 billion kilometers away from the sun, its gravitational force is very less.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists
sesenic [268]
A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.

Where were typhoid cases normally concentrated
kvasek [131]

Typhoid fever is most common in non-industrialized countries. Travelers to Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America are especially at risk. Salmonella typhi bacteria are shed in the urine or stool of infected persons, including chronic carriers. There are no known animal reservoirs for typhoid fever.
