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.

9 mark question
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The statement is not true.

Explanation:

Global warming is a process that is occurring naturally, with or without human activity. This is not to say that humans don't have an impact, on contrary, the human activities have managed to add enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere so that the process is speeded up, and that becomes very alarming because the changes are much faster.

Very often, the finger is pointed to the most developed countries in the world when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions like they are the only ones that contribute to it. This is far from true though. All of the well-developed countries, except for the US, have been investing heavily in environmentally friendly energy sources and have had a decrease in greenhouse emissions. On the other hand, countries like China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, are all among the top polluters when it comes to greenhouse gases emissions. Now to be fair, the countries that are now well developed did a lot of harm in the past while they were developing, so it is hard to criticize the developing countries for wanting to become richer except if they are helped in sorting out the issue.

Three codes of ethics to reduce carbon footprint
g100num [7]

First is to ensure that every law related to environmental preservation must be followed aside from keeping the responsibilities duly delegated to have a sustainable impact on the environment.

 

Second is to ensure that your employees know the different consequences of their occupation pursuits which can then lessen their carbon footprint.

 

Third is to take the initiative to walk instead of drive. Walking to and from destinations may help decrease the carbon footprint that you make.
