Answer:

Moon

Explanation:

The moon's gravitational attraction is the basic tidal force. The moon's gravity attracts the ocean in its direction in times of high high tides. While at low high tides, the Earth is in the direction facing the moon, resulting in high tides on the other region of the planet.

Earth's rotation and the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon leads to tides on earth. As the sun is far bigger than the moon (27 million times more masssive), it possesses larger graviational attraction on Earth. The sun's huge mass, and its gravitational attraction, explains why Earth, the distinct planets and celestial bodies in the solar system orbit the star.

Nevertheless, tidal force's reliance on gravity can be confusing. In contrast to gravity, tidal forces are heavily reliant on distance than mass. Thus, the relatively small moon creates a higher tidal force on Earth more than the massive sun since its in proximity more—on average the moon is 384,399.9 kilometers (238,855 miles) from Earth, while the sun is 149.6 million kilometers (92.92 million miles) away.

Earth's oceans, distinct bodies of water, and to a a level land are in response to the moon by bulging and dipping as the moon moves around Earth. The sun also acts in a less significant way in times of formation of tides. Tides are observed on Earth as bulges in the ocean. When the ocean bulges in the moon direction, a high tide is formed. The high tide on the region of Earth in direction to the moon is termed the high high tide. The high tide developed by the bulge on the different region of Earth is termed the low high tide.

Explain Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Why does it get so cold at night?
alexdok [17]

Answer/Explanation: On Mercury temperatures can get as hot as 430 degrees Celsius during the day and as cold as -180 degrees Celsius at night.

Mercury is the planet in our solar system that sits closest to the sun. The distance between Mercury and the sun ranges from 46 million kilometers to 69.8 million kilometers. The earth sits at a comfy 150 million kilometers. This is one reason why it gets so hot on Mercury during the day.

The other reason is that Mercury has a very thin and unstable atmosphere. At a size about a third of the earth and with a mass (what we on earth see as ‘weight’) that is 0.05 times as much as the earth, Mercury just doesn’t have the gravity to keep gases trapped around it, creating an atmosphere. Due to the high temperature, solar winds, and the low gravity (about a third of earth’s gravity), gases keep escaping the planet, quite literally just blowing away.

Atmospheres can trap heat, that’s why it can still be nice and warm at night here on earth.

Mercury’s atmosphere is too thin, unstable and close to the sun to make any notable difference in the temperature.

Space is cold. Space is very cold. So cold in fact, that it can almost reach absolute zero, the point where molecules stop moving (and they always move). In space, the coldest temperature you can get is 2.7 Kelvin, about -270 degrees Celsius.

Sunlight reflected from other planets and moons, gases that move through space, the very thin atmosphere and the surface of Mercury itself are the main reasons that temperatures on Mercury don’t get lower than about -180 °C at night.

timurjin [86]

A marine biologist is examining the effects of oil pollution on a population of birds known as seagulls (Larus canus). She is particularly concerned that oil pollution may reduce the number of eggs raised in a seagull nest. During one breeding season, she counted the number of eggs present in a sampling of six seagull nests near each of the 14 refineries throughout the state. She discovered that seagulls laid and raised an average of four eggs per season. To confirm her hypothesis, the researcher must now examine seagull nests that have not been exposed to oil pollution. The researcher believes she is correct, and so expects to find D) 4-6 eggs per nest.
