If you placed a terrarium on top of black ice, the cold temperature of the ice would likely lower the internal temperature of the terrarium, potentially harming the plants and microorganisms inside. The ice's slick surface could also make it unstable, risking the terrarium's tipping or sliding off. Additionally, if the terrarium is sealed, condensation might form inside, but if the conditions are too cold, the plants could suffer from frost damage. Overall, the viability of the terrarium's ecosystem would be compromised.

How would evaporation and condensation work in a sealed terrarium exposed to sunlight?

Any liquid exposed to a gas (water and air in the terrarium) will undergo evaporation. This is due to the internal energy which the particles of liquid will always have unless their temperature is 0 K. When the particles collide they transfer their energy to one another. When a particle at the surface of the liquid receives enough energy to be transformed into the gas phase it evaporates (essentially boiling one particle) while the remaining liquid remains under the boiling point of the liquid. When a terrarium sits in the sunlight it will warm up, receiving thermal energy and exciting the particles in the liquid. The increased thermal energy within the system will increase the rate of evaporation. Increased surface area of the liquid exposed to the gas will also raise the evaporation rate. As the liquid transforms into a gas, it fills the space occupied by the air within the terrarium. When so much moisture enters the air that can no longer hold any more humidity it has reached its dew point. The gaseous liquid begins to fall out of suspension and condense into its liquid phase again. Droplets of liquid will appear on the walls and cover of the terrarium as a result. Cooling the walls and cover of the terrarium will increase the rate of condensation.


What would happen if beetle juice the star in Orion exploded and ended its life in a black hole?

According to Fox News and their computer simulated models, if the star were to explode and become a black hole, it would eat all the children on Earth. Also, our economy would fall over on itself twice as hard as our atmosphere would slowly melt away due to the gravitational pull of the black hole. But real scientists agree that, nothing threatening would happen aside from the potential of gamma radiation. There would be alot to learn from it's destruction.


What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit?

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would decrease if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit. This is because the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so as Earth moved farther away from the sun (as in Pluto's orbit), the gravitational force would weaken.

What would happen if you placed the terrarium on the top of a block of ice?

nothing if you were to insulate it and your heater was able to keep up with the temperature swings. other wise most plants would die from cold. especially when the plants you put in there are exotic zone 7 and above. so minimum temp of 55 or 60
