There are 171 moons, or natural satellites, orbiting the planets in our solar system; Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have 1, 2, 66, 62, 27, and 13 moons, respectively. The following is a list of some of the major planetary moons, including those of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Out of them, Most of the large moons in the Solar System have prograde orbits. This means that they orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet is rotating.

Why do all the planets orbit in the same direction?

The same reason (almost) all of them rotate in the same direction: because of the conservation of angular momentum. Before a star and its planets exist, there's just a cloud of disorganized gas and small molecules. The Solar System formed from such a cloud around 4.6 billion years ago.

6a. A special lamp can produce UV radiation. Which two statements

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The correct options are:

B) They have the same wave speed as visible light

D) They have a lower frequency than gamma rays.

Explanation:

B) Ultraviolet rays, commonly known as UV rays, are a type of electromagnetic ways. As electromagnetic waves, in the layman's term, are all kinds of life that can be identified, all electromagnetic waves (UV rays, visible light, infrared, radio etc) all travel with the same velocity, that is the speed of light, given as v = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

D) The frequency of all electromagnetic rays can be found by electromagnetic spectrum (picture attached below).

We can clearly see in the picture that the frequencies of UV rays lie at about 10¹⁵ - 10¹⁶ Hz which is lower than the frequency of Gamma ray, which lie at about 10²⁰ Hz.
