The planets closest to the Sun are the inner, or terrestrial, planets and are similar to Earth in some ways. They are rocky and

dense, have few moons, no rings, and are relatively small. These planets also differ in many ways, as shown in the chart. For example, Venus is the hottest planet on the chart, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun. The temperature difference between Venus and Earth is significantly greater than the difference between Venus and Mercury, even though Venus lies close to midway between those two planets. Which statement elaborates on the cause of this wide range of temperatures between terrestrial planets?

The correct answer is - the atmosphere.

All of the terrestrial planets have atmospheres, but all them differ in their composition and density too. Venus has the highest temperature of the terrestrial planets, higher even then Mercury despite being closer to the Sun, because it has very dense atmosphere. Also, the key moment with the dense atmosphere of Venus is that it is mostly composed of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a gas that has the ability to trap the solar radiation into the atmosphere, so the more there is from this gas, the hotter it will be, and Venus has exactly that.

Compare and contrast aerobic and anaerobic respiration. We need to discuss the following points: stages involved, locations in t
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is whether or not oxygen is present. . During aerobic respiration, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are produced. During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, ethanol, and ATP are create, aerobic os used when heart rate and breathing rate rise, anaerobic is used during the first 1-2 mins of exercise, occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, while aerobic occurs in the mitochondria of the cells,  glycolysis occurs in both,  both are respiration, and both create ATP

How does the structure of a nephron directly relate to function of the kidney
VLD [36.1K]
Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium, phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.  

If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.       <span> </span>

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.
