Earth’s atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O). This is further subdivided into four layers according to their temperatures. Troposphere the layer closes to the Earth's surface with 10-15 km above its surface. Stratosphere is 15 to 50 km above the surface of the Earth and its top is warmer than its bottom. Mesosphere extends 50 to 80 km and becomes colder with increasing altitude. <span>And thermosphere is 80 km above the surface of the Earth to outer space and is very hot.</span>

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

So the Earth moves at about 110,000 km/h around the Sun (which is about one thousand times faster than the typical speed of a car on a highway!) ... This is the case for Earth's orbit. But not all ellipses come in the same shape.

how big is the sun on a 1 to 10 billion scale? How big is the earth in the same scale? Covert answers to cm. Assume Sun’s radius
galben [10]

Answer:

sun is bigger than earth is  13.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of sun = 700,000 km

radius of earth = 6500 km

to find out

how big is the sun

solution

we know here

scale 1 to 10 billion is

scale = \frac{1}{10*10^9}

so here

we know that scaled diameter = actual diameter × scale   .................1

so for earth

scaled diameter of earth = 2 × 6500   × \frac{1}{10*10^9}

scaled diameter of earth = 1.3 × 10^{-6}

and

scaled diameter of sun = 2 × 700,000  × \frac{1}{10*10^9}

scaled diameter of sun =  1.4 × 10^{-4}

so

sun is bigger than earth is 1.4 × 10^{-4}  - 1.3 × 10^{-6}

sun is bigger than earth is 0.000139 = 13.9 cm

Plants in the Namib Desert have developed and adaptation that allows them to get their water from
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is - the air.

The Namib Desert is one of the driest places on the planet and that is due to the cold and dry ocean currents alongside the southwestern part of Africa which are not providing the right conditions for precipitation to occur.

Even though there's no rain, because the Namib Desert is very hot, and the ocean currents very cold, the end result is mist that appears every morning, as well as dew.

The plants living in this desert have evolved in accordance to the conditions, so instead of being dependent on their roots for getting water, they get the majority of the water through their leafs and skin, directly from the air.
