Why the gas giants had to form within 3-10 million years from the birth of the Sun - ️️they had to attract hydrogen and helium gases before these were blown away by the solar wind Why the giant planets have faster spin rates than terrestrial planets - ️️because they are more massive Why the interiors of large asteroids and planets are very hot inside - ️️when they get big enough they heat up inside due to the heat of accretion and radioactive decay, causing the interior to melt Wh...

About how many Near Earth Asteroids are we currently tracking - 20,000 we are currently tracking How a caldera forms - a large circular depression formed when the surface collapses into an emptied magma chamber How core formation leads to an increase in internal temperature - the motion of the falling iron is converted into deformation at the surface of the growing core, producing heat How heat is transferred with conduction, convection, and radiation - convection: heat transfer through fl...

Is there debate within the scientific community about the current causes of global warming? - ️️Climate models lead to the unequivocal conclusion that human emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for the current rise in global temperatures; There is no debate about this in the scientific community Why does the temperature of the troposphere decrease with altitude? - ️️This layer of the atmosphere is heated from the ground, causing it to be warmest near the surface. As warm air ri...

In Wikipedia, look up "Escape velocity" and answer this question: What is an escape velocity? - It is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a primary body. In Wikipedia, look up "Escape velocity" and answer this question: Assuming equal mass, which will have the higher escape velocity from its surface, a large diameter planet or a small diameter planet? (Hint: look at the equation for escape velocity(speed).) - Smaller diameter leads to high...
