The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>

How does light pollution affects the ability to see dim objects in the sky
yulyashka [42]

Hi~~

Human invasive use of outdoor and artificial lightning (AKA light pollution) has made us less able to see the sky and the stars. Light pollution affects our visual abilities to see objects in the sky by altering the colors and contrast of the night-sky, which makes astronomers less able to study the skies.

Mr Ackah, a retired teacher had been recording consistent increase of blood pressure for the past five year. what accounted for
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Change in the vascular system.

Explanation:

High blood pressure occurs when the arteries in the human body system become rigid thereby making the blood pressure rise.

The cause for this situation particularly in older people is the changes in the vascular system or circulatory system.

This is said to be vasoconstriction which lowers the flow of blood in the circulatory system, thereby causing high blood pressure

Hence, since Mr. Ackah is a retired teacher, it is believed that he is an old man susceptible to changes in the vascular system or vasoconstriction.
