<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth. </u>

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

What are the two kinds of nucleons?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The main types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. A proton, as its name suggests, has a positive electric charge, and a neutron has a neutral electric charge (meaning that it has no charge). The two in the nucleus of the atom make a positive charge, since the neutron has no charge at all.

Your friend, who is in a field 100 meters away from you, kicks a ball towards you with an initial velocity of 16 m/s. Assuming t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Time, t = 5.355 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100 m

Initial velocity = 16 m/s

Deceleration = 1 m/s²
