An 'atmosphere (from Greek τμός (atmos), meaning "vapour", and σφα ρα (sphaira), meaning "sphere" [1][2] ) is a layer of gases surrounding a planet or other material body of sufficient mass [3] that is held in place by the gravity of the body. An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity is high and the atmosphere's temperature is low.

The atmosphere of Earth is mostly composed of nitrogen. It also contains oxygen used by most organisms for respiration and carbon dioxide used by plants, algae and cyanobacteria for photosynthesis. It protects living organisms from genetic damage by solar ultraviolet radiation, solar wind and cosmic rays. Its current composition is the product of billions of years of biochemical modification of the paleoatmosphere by living organisms.

The term stellar atmosphere describes the outer region of a star, and typically includes the portion starting from the opaque photosphere outwards. Stars with sufficiently low temperatures may form compound molecules in their outer atmosphere.

The Earth's atmosphere is kept close to Earth by gravity. Just as the Earth's gravity keeps you firmly on the ground, it also acts on the gases of the Earth's atmosphere, holding it in place and allowing us to breathe.

Answer:

a. verify that your observations are correct

c. think about what else might cause the observed discrepancy

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that a law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, <u>a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.</u>  

Then, based on what is explained above, Kepler's laws of planetary motion exist because they were rigorously tested and verified, therefore they can not be refuted.

So, if we have a small discrepancy between the predicted and actual positions of Uranus after using Kepler's laws, we have to verify carefully our observations again and search what might be causing that discrepancy. But we cannot assume Kepler's Laws are incorrecto or need modifications.

In addition, we cannot consider that Uranus may not be a planet, because the discrepancy is small. In fact, this discrepancy lead to the discovery of another planet, Neptune.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Therefore it can not be any of the other answers because the substance was water at first but now its salty water.

ps what kind of person would drink water after you put salt in it lol.

When people use plastic combs on their hair, the combs become negatively charged. Which statements about this situation are true
Vadim26 [7]
The answer would be:
The comb gains electrons.
The hair loses electrons.

In chemistry, the charge depends on the electrons and protons. The electron will give negative charge and proton will give the positive charge. Proton is located in the nucleus of the atoms so it won't easily move like electron which located in the orbit in the atoms perimeter. So, ignore the option with the proton.
If the combs become negatively charged, that means it gain some electron. Since something gain electron, that means another thing is losing an electron. That electron comes from the hair.
