Is earth a part of a large physical system that contains other planets, moons and stars?

Geography

Strike441 [17]3 years ago

-- Earth is one planet is a "Solar System", that consists of everything
that's gravitationally hooked to the Sun ... one star.  This system contains
7 other other significant planets, more than 100 of their moons, and huge
numbers of comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and countless bodies in a
giant shell that are so small and so far away that we can only see a few
of them so far.  Every one of these items orbits the sun.  The ones that
are farthest out may take thousands of years to complete one orbit.

That's the 'kingdom' of ONE star ... the sun.

-- It's very likely that there are similar gatherings of different-size objects
around MOST stars ... maybe ALL stars.  Those objects are tremendously
difficult for us to see.  We're just beginning to be able to see the most massive
planets that go with other stars, and already, something like a thousand of them
have been discovered.  We know that they're there, but we can't see things like
their actual size or surface markings yet.

-- Stars are clumped in gatherings of several billion, called 'galaxies'. 
Our sun is one of an estimated 300 to 400 billion stars in one galaxy,
which we call the "Milky Way Galaxy".

-- Astronomers estimate that there are billions of other galaxies.

So there are billions of billions of other stars, and most of them may
have several planets.

That's an awful lot of OTHER physical systems out there, that contain
other planets and moons.

Having trouble wrapping your mind around all of that ?  Don't worry,
you're not the only one.  It's easy for us to talk about it, but impossible
for our minds to actually understand it.  It's just too big.

What is meant by stock of resources? Please answer this question from ncert social textbook.....
Kobotan [32]

Since stock resources are consumed over a long period of time, they are not renewable. They often indicate their quantity using absolute values rather than rates. Coal and petroleum reserves are two examples.

There are resources that are known to exist that could be used. Resources that have been created, whose amount and quality have been determined for use, and which are currently in use, are referred to as developed resources. Future-use resources are defined, and their current value is acknowledged. However, they aren't being utilized right now. Resource stocks create and market a variety of goods. These include oil, copper, uranium, tin, fertilizers, and oil. Although developing a distinctive product is difficult for resource producers, businesses can differentiate themselves by identifying and producing their commodities swiftly and profitably.
