Physics

konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
6 0
Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.

7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.

When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.

The Great Red Spot is a storm in Jupiter's southern hemisphere with crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at wind speeds

8. 58,232 km

The second largest planet in the solar system

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.

Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,

9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.

Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.

10. 24,622 km

Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).

Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134
