Why do pugs stay in the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pugs may stay in the sun because they enjoy the warmth and the feeling of basking in the sunlight. However, it's important to monitor their time in the sun as they are prone to overheating and can suffer from heatstroke. It's best to provide them with a shaded area and plenty of fresh water to prevent any health risks associated with prolonged sun exposure.

What mass of material with a long tail travels around the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The mass of material with a long tail that travels around the sun is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The tail of a comet is formed when it gets closer to the sun, and the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing tail. The mass of a comet can range from a few million kilograms to billions of kilograms.

What kind of energy do plants get from the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sunlight - this is used by the green pigments in plant leaves, in a process called photosynthesis, to make sugars on which the pant then lives. All animal life on the surface of Earth eats plants to survive and therefore all life on earth (apart form some specialist examples) live on sunlight. Plants can also grow from normal light hence photosynthesis

but it is very smelly (:

and its very interesting to learn about (:

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We - as in the Solar System, are located about 25,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy and about 25,000 light years from the edge.

The Sun and the rest of the Solar System are close to the inner rim of the galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt.

Why is suns core hotter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The corona is hotter than the photosphere because the sun's magnetic field carries energy upward from the surface and into the chromosphere and corona. The opposite effect is observed when the magnetic fields cause sunspots to form resulting in cooler surfaces.

Why are shadows always black?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because the shadow of an opaque object is simply a region where no light falls,

so there's no light to reflect from there to your eyes.

A place from which no light reaches your eyes appears black.
