Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of
kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine
