What is a Near-earth-asteroid?
Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth's neighborhood. Composed mostly of water ice with embedded dust particles
Why was Aristotle wrong about the solar system?
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect =) Hope it helped. I had the same question
Do Asteroids and other NEOs (Near Earth Objects) contain liquid nitrogen or gas nitrogen Also please tell me how the nitrogen can be used to help Space settlements.?
In general ... No. Gaseous Nitrogen has little or no place in an near future space settlements. It is not needed in current space ventures - except to reduce oxygen partial pressure near the Earth's surface.

Well really nothing because we have that fore feild like thing around earth
Why are neos important?
you have to check on them just in case Earth does not become affected freom Near Earth Objects(NEO`s)
Is the value of g equals 9.8m s constant?
No. It is an approximation for objects near earth, objects further away from earth experience less force and therefore dont have as great an acceleration.
