Which best explains why the shapes of a liquid can change

The shape of a liquid can change because of the bonds between its atoms. Atoms in a liquid are loosely bonded, allowing them to roll over one another but not completely escape one another. In contrast, the atoms in a solid are so closely packed together that they can only vibrate in place, while the atoms in a gas have such little attraction between them that they fly in every direction and do not stay near one another at all. In a liquid, the atoms still stay close to one another, but are able to move, changing the overall shape of the liquid.

Hope this helps!

The shape of a liquid can change because the atoms in it are not close together to form a solid, they flow freely.

Answer:

Period is 86811.5 seconds.

Explanation:

${ \boxed{ \bf{T {}^{2} = (\frac{4 {\pi}^{2} }{GM}) {r}^{3} }}}$

${ \tt{T {}^{2} = \frac{4 {(3.14)}^{2} }{(6.6 \times {10}^{ - 11} ) \times (5.98 \times {10}^{24} )} \times {((35880\times {10}^{3}) } + (6370 \times {10}^{3} )) {}^{3} }} \\ \\ { \tt{T {}^{2} = 7.54 \times {10}^{9} }} \\ { \tt{T = \sqrt{7.54 \times {10}^{9} } }} \\ { \tt{T = 86811.5 \: seconds}}$
