It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun.  The reason why the moon changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

θ = 41.8º

Explanation:

This is an internal total reflection exercise, the equation that describes this process is

         sin θ = n₂ / n₁

where n₂ is the index of the incident medium and n₁ the other medium must be met n₁> n₂

        θ = sin⁻¹ n₂ / n₁

let's calculate

       θ = sin⁻¹ (1.00 / 1.50)

       θ = 41.8º

What is the density of iron if 5.0 cm3 has a mass of 39.5g
weqwewe [10]

Answer :\rho = 7.9\ g/cm^3

Explanation :

It is given that

Mass of iron, m = 39.5 g

Volume of iron, V = 5\ cm^3

So, density is :

density, \rho =\dfrac{mass}{volume}

\rho =\dfrac{39.5g}{5cm^3}

\rho = 7.9\ g/cm^3

Write down one fact about each of the following crust, mantle, outer, core, & inner core
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Hope this help you!!

Explanation:

Crust : The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. It has an average thickness of about 18 miles below land, and around 6 miles below the oceans. The crust is the layer that makes up the Earth's surface and it lies on top of a harder layer, called the mantle.

Mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 1,802 miles thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume

Outer Core : The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.

Inner Core : It's Almost The Size of the Moon. The Earth's inner core is surprisingly large, measuring 1,516 miles across. It's Mostly Made of Iron. It Spins Faster Than the Surface of the Earth. It Creates a Magnetic Field.
