Answer:

The atmosphere changes the temperature of the planet because of its transparency.

On Earth, sunlight reaches the Earth, which warms it. On a planet such as Jupiter, the planet is entirely surrounded in a thick and toxic gas. This limits the amount of sunlight that can reach the surface, which also decreases the temperature.

The existence of atmosphere increases the average planetary temperature by more than 15°C, due to the greenhouse effect of some atmospheric compounds. The most important of them are water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).

Answer:

The velocity is $v =2.455 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pipe is $d = 4.25 \ cm = 0.0425 \ m$

The magnetic field is $B = 0.575 \ T$

The hall voltage is $V_H = 60.0 mV = 60 *10^{-3} \ V$

Generally the average fluid velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{V}{ B * d }$

=> $v = \frac{60*10^{-3}}{ 0.575 * 0.0425 }$

=> $v =2.455 \ m/s$
