Our astronomy study group buddies have once again found themselves in conflict while discussing Saturn, specifically, why the pl

anet's rings seem to disappear every few years when viewed from Earth.
Student A: Saturn's rings occasionally seem to vanish because of their chemical composition. The radiation produced by the planet darkens the methane compounds in its rings. They need 6 or 7 years to rejuvenate before they become visible again.
Student B: Saturn's rings occasionally seem to vanish because of their low temperature. The ice-coated dust particles in the rings refract incoming sunlight so dramatically that the light bends out of the visible portion of the spectrum. The planet's rings are most visible when the distance between Saturn and the Sun is at its maximum.
Student C: Saturn's rings occasionally seem to vanish because of their angular inclination. The rings are so thin that, whenever we see them edge-on, they almost disappear. Saturn's rings are most visible when we can see their tops or bottoms. Which student is correct, A, B, or C?
Using your own words, explain why you agree with the student you chose as correct. Why do you disagree with each of the students you believe are incorrect?

Answer:

Student C.

Explanation:

The student C statement is correct about the disappearing of Saturn's rings. The main reason of disappearing of Saturn's rings is the sloping of the Saturn planet. Saturn has its own orbit in which he revolve around the sun, During its movement, the orbit takes it to a location where the planet seems to tip just enough so that the rings slowly seem to be disappearing. The view of student A is incorrect because the ring is not made of methane gas, it is made of large pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons. The view of Student B is also incorrect because there is not just the ice coated dust particle but also pieces of rocks which reflect the light not refracted.

Question 17 of 20
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

A human community with high population density and low economic status will have the highest birthrates.

Explanation:

A is not correct because usually, these are populations in countries that are transitioning from one political to another political model, and these populations actually tend to decline, mostly because of immigration.

B is not correct because such populations tend to have low birthrates, often even below the bar for simple replacement of the population.

C is not correct because such populations tend to live in very bad conditions, so despite having relatively high birthrates, they stagnate in their growth.

D is correct because such populations have both the numbers needed and also live in more traditional societies, leading to very high birthrates, as can be seen with Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc.

andrew11 [14]
By tradition, the city of Rome was founded in 753 B.C.*

But the awnser to your question is D
The Trojan prince Aeneas, an important figure linking the Romans with the Trojans and the goddess Venus, is sometimes credited with the founding of Rome as the culmination of his post-Trojan War adventures, but the version of the Roman foundation myth that is most familiar is that of Romulus, the first king of Rome.

Which of the following is the point underground where rock layers first move during an earthquake? Epicenter Focus Fault Crosspo
OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer is - Focus.

Focus of the earthquake, also referred to as hypocenter, is the location/point where the earthquake starts. It is usually few kilometres below the surface. At this spot the ground raptures after which seismic waves start radiating outward in all directions. The focus is located below the epicenter, or rather the epicenter is above it because the location of the epicenter is determined by the location of the focus, so the epicenter represents the closest point on the surface of the Earth from where the focus is.
