Science Questions HW! Help!?

Question

One factor responsible for the strength of

gravitational attraction between a planet and the

Sun is the

(1) degree of tilt of the planet’s axis

(2) distance between the planet and the Sun

(3) planet’s period of rotation

(4) amount of insolation given off by the Sun

What causes the Coriolis effect?

(1) Earth’s tilt on its axis

(2) the spin of Earth on its axis

(3) the orbital motion of the Moon around Earth

(4) the orbital motion of Earth around the Sun

Which planet is located approximately ten times

farther from the Sun than Earth is from the Sun?

(1) Mars (3) Saturn

(2) Jupiter (4) Uranus

What is the relative humidity when the dry-bulb

temperature is 16°C and the wet-bulb temperature

is 14°C?

(1) 90% (3) 14%

(2) 80% (4) 13%

(AND HOW DO YOU DO THIS?)

Large craters found on Earth support the

hypothesis that impact events have caused

(1) a decrease in the number of earthquakes and

an increase in sea level

(2) an increase in solar radiation and a decrease

Find the difference between the wet bulb reading and the dry bulb reading.  In your example that difference is 2 degrees Celsius.  Then use the table at

Answer 2

dont worry ill help you

(2) distance between the planet and the Sun

(1) Earth’s tilt on its axis

(4) Uranus

2) 80%      its easy subtract 16 - 14 = 2 then you leave 16 and look at 2. Under it the relative humidity is 80. This is in the earth science reference table

(1) a decrease in the number of earthquakes and

an increase in sea level

nice question.
