Why do you think astronomers even classify dwarf planets? Why not just catalog planets and leave it at that?

Biology
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago

This is my opinion- please note this is NOT a fact:

Scientists label planets and dwarf planets to further distinguish what actually classifies a planet. If scientists didn’t have a classification system, the argument could be made that solid matter in space could be named a “planet” (asteroids, moons, etc.). Having certain classification thresholds means that planets that could support life are identified.

Again- this is NOT fact, my simple opinion. I could be very wrong.

The amount of energy available to each successive level on a food<br> chain/pyramid?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The ten percent law states that the total energy content of a trophic level in an ecosystem is only about one-tenth (or 10%) that of the preceding level. The trophic levels of any ecosystem can be arranged in a pyramid shape to show the amount of energy available to support one trophic level to the next.
