It allows them to glide smoothly through the water with less resistance, which saves their energy & makes them fast swimmers.

Most of the marine animals have a stream lined body, which means, they have a sharp and pointed at the front. The pointed front of the organism allow to cut the resistance of the water. In case, the body is not pointed at the front and it is blunt, the water current and flow would resist the movement of the organism further. So, for the locomotion purpose, it is important to have a streamlined body. Further smooth and hair less body also decrease the resistance during the movement in the water.

The data table above includes the distance each planet is from the sun. Students in an Earth science class were asked to explain

Serga [27]

Student 4

Explanation:

The sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away. Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center.
Gravity keeps all the planets in its position and allows it to move in its orbit.
The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects.

So when the distance increases, the force weakens. Since Neptune approximately 4.8 billion kilometers away from the sun, its gravitational force is very less.
