Which mountain’s name translates to shining mountain?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Kilimanjaro

Explanation:

The name of Africa's tallest peak (19,341 feet above sea level) comes from two local languages: Swahili and Chagga. When combined, the words translate to "Shining Mountain" or "White Mountain." Alternate names given to Kilimanjaro throughout history translate to "Mountain Where Birds Cannot Fly" and "Mountain of Silver Moons." The Chagga people believe that a spirit lives atop the peak and will cause sickness to some who climb. Anthropologists think this is likely their method for explaining altitude sickness, caused by attempting to climb Kilimanjaro too quickly.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

<u>Instead of Helium and Hydrogen there are heavier elements in inner planets like Nitrogen and oxygen.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the inner planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars and earth have a solid surface which is separated by the Sharpe atmosphere, and their gravity is too low to hold these light gases.
  • Uranus is primarily composed of gases and ice of which 83% is hydrogen and 15% helium and rest are trace gases. As in the early composition of the atmosphere, the inner planets like the earth had a solid atmosphere composed of solid silicates elements like magnesium, iron, calcium, and potassium.  
  • As the earth has a highly unstable atmosphere only carbon, nitrogen and oxygen combined in lightning occur. And planet mercury has no atmosphere thus gravity is too low to hold any gas.
