Not possible. The air is actually able to travel sound throughout itself without any difficulties. I believe, air actually brings sound closer to the people farther away ; It really helps to stretch sound.
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of. So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color. It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..
The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else. The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are. So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.
I think that sums it up fairly well.
How many different types of plant and animal life exist in a given habitat.
That was a lucky pick.
Twice each each lunar month, all year long, whenever the Moon,
Earth and Sun are aligned, the gravitational pull of the sun adds
to that of the moon causing maximum tides.
This is the setup at both New Moon and Full Moon. It doesn't matter
whether the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth,
or one on each side. As long as all three bodies are lined up, we
get the biggest tides.
These are called "spring tides", when there is the greatest difference
between high and low tide.
At First Quarter and Third Quarter, when the sun, Earth, and Moon form a
right angle, there is the least difference between high and low tide. Then
they're called "neap tides".
