I guess that depends on what you mean by "nearly".
"Nearly" is one of those rubber words that means different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same
person at different times and in different situations.

I can tell you this much:

-- The Earth's orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity of 0.0167... .

-- At closest approach to the sun (perihelion, around January 3), the Earth
is about 3.3% closer to the sun than at its farthest (aphelion, around July 5).

-- When the true shape of the orbit is drawn on paper, its departure from
a perfect circle is not noticeable.

So to me, Earth's orbit is "nearly circular". Your interpretation of the same
words may be different.

Can you access an instance variable from a static method? explain why or why not.

The reason a static method can't access instance variable is because static references the class not a specific instance of the class so there is no instance variable to access.

Two sound waves are traveling through the same medium. They have the same amplitude, wavelength, and direction of travel. If the

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Constructive interference

Explanation:

Here, the medium is same, same wavelength, same frequency, same amplitude and same direction of propagation.

Let the intensity of waves be I which is same for both

The formula for the net intensity is

$I^{2}=I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}+2I_{1}I_{2}Cos\phi$

where, Ф be the phase difference

So, $I_{R}^{2}=I^{2}+I^{2}+2IICos6\pi$

Here, IR is maximum so the interference is constructive in nature.

How wind Form? Explain please

snow_lady [41]

This begins with the sun’s radiation, which is absorbed differently on the earth’s surface. The earth's surface is heated differently because of scenarios like cloud cover, mountains, valleys, water bodies, vegetation and desert lands.

Good luck!
