No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.
But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
d = 6000 km
t with the tail wind = 6 hr
r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
(s+w)*6 = 6000
(s-w)*7.5 = 6000
s + w = 1000
s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
s = 900 km/h
s + w = 1000
w = 100
Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
(900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. ... The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.Apr 23, 2014
