Answer:
Due to the dense atmosphere
The magnetic field of the earth
Explanation:
Most particles in the solar wind do not reach the earth's surface because the atmosphere is very dense and the protecting magnetic field of the earth.
A solar wind is a burst of energetic particles from the sun which are made up electrons, ions, etc.. They travel at a very high velocity.
- The magnetic field of the earth is able to deflect these charged particles away.
- In areas such as the pole, the interact with the atmosphere to produce very stunning auroras.

The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.
The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
Answer:
D. / 4 - Phosphorescents
Explanation:
Phosphorescence occurs when light is absorved by a material, and when the material is in the dark we can see how radiation is emitted from the object, in the form of light. Phosphorescent materials are called phosphorescents.
Facts/notes:
- This does not occur immediately
- It occurs from a longer time than fluorescence (because electrons take longer to slow down their movement)
- It is a photoluminescence
- Remember that bioluminescence is not strictly related to phosphorescence. It's a type chemiluminescence.
- For a more detalied understaning you should read about excitation, types of excitation and how this causes/affects phosphorescence.
