We don't know.  It could be material that just couldn't condense
into a planet in that region. 

(In fact, the way the planets are arranged, it turns out that the
average distance from the sun to the center of the asteroid belt
is exactly where we would expect to find a planet.)

If the asteroids are actually material that failed to condense into a
planet, then the huge gravity of Jupiter might have been responsible
for keeping the material disturbed.

Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t
castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.

How will heat flow between objects?
alukav5142 [94]
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of
Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

PV=nRT

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

V = 21\% * 0.66L

V = 0.1386L

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Using the equation to find n, we have:

PV=nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}

n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}

\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules
