Why does sunlight attract dust?

Sunlight can attract dust particles because air currents created by temperature differences near a window or light source can cause dust to become more visible as it reflects the sunlight. Additionally, the warmth from sunlight can create convection currents that move dust particles around, making them more noticeable in illuminated areas.


Which weighs more the earth or the moon?

There is no such thing as weight in space as there is no gravity up there. Although seeing as the earth has more mass it would weigh more if there where gravity in space.


Why is sunlight more dangerous in outer space than on earth?

Sunlight is more dangerous in outer space than on Earth because there is no matter in space, unlike on Earth, so sunlight just passes through the emptiness of space and shines in all directions. When light passes through matter, it takes longer for the light to pass through it to reach something. In space, it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth's surface. The speed of light also depends on what type of matter the light is going through.the sun is more hotter in space than the earth

Why dark colours attract dust?

Dark colors attract dust because they absorb more light, making them warmer than lighter colors. As dust particles move around, they are more likely to be attracted to warmer surfaces like dark colors due to thermal air currents and static electricity. This makes dark-colored surfaces appear dustier compared to lighter colors.

Why does a space telescope produce a clearer image then an earth based telescope?

A space telescope produces clearer images because it is above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur light from space. By being in space, the telescope eliminates the atmospheric turbulence that can affect the quality of images produced by Earth-based telescopes. This allows space telescopes to capture sharper and more detailed images of celestial objects.


How do you know there are small meteoroids and dust in space?

We know that there are small meteoroids and dust in space because meteorites (meteoroids that survive the atmosphere and land on Earth) exist, and also because we can see meteoroids as meteors (the light coming from a meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere) in the sky.


Why are dust particles attracted to newly polished car?

Dust particles are attracted to newly polished cars because the smooth surface of the polish reduces friction, allowing particles to stick more easily. Additionally, the static charge on the polished surface may also attract dust particles.


Why does a brick weigh more on earth than it does in space?

More gravity on Earth.


What is the other name for phencyclidine?

Phencyclidine is a drug. Also known as space dust, zombie dust, monkey dust, supergrass, shermans, amp pcp and a lot more.


Why do charged particles from outer space like cosmic rays strike Earth more frequently at the poles than at the equator?

Charged particles from outer space are more likely to strike Earth at the poles due to the Earth's magnetic field shaping their paths. The magnetic field lines converge at the magnetic poles, directing charged particles towards these regions. This results in a higher concentration of cosmic ray impacts at the poles compared to the equator.

What is the materials of astronomical in the earth?

If I understand the question correctly, you mean what materials of outer space are found on Earth. ALL material on Earth originally comes from "outer space", since the Solar System was formed from such material, approximately 4.6 billion years ago. Some materials came more recently, from meteors, asteroids, or simply grains of dust that fell onto planet Earth.


Why can't space gas get on Earth?

The Earth's relatively thick atmosphere, and its magnetic field, may be plausible partial explanations. But the main reason is undoubtedly the fact that there's no such thing as "space gas". More ideas: Actually there is "space gas". For example it's part of the nebulae from which stars and planets form. However there's not much of it near the Earth now. Of course comets give off dust and gas and we see "space dust" burning up in our atmosphere as meteors. Probably very small amounts of gas do enter our atmosphere. Also, there's the "solar wind" which is a gas plasma. Overall though, I agree that there's not really any significant amount of "space gas" in the vicinity of Earth.

If the Earth has 81 times the mass of the Moon then why don't objects 81 times smaller than our body's mass orbit us?

They could if you and the small objects were isolated in space. On Earth, those objects are much more strongly attracted to the Earth and would simply fall to its surface. Essentially, the Earth's gravitational field overwhelms our own.


Why does earth get heavier everyday?

Earth does not get heavier every day. The planet gains and loses mass constantly due to factors like meteoroid impacts and space debris entering the atmosphere, as well as the accumulation of cosmic dust settling on its surface. However, these fluctuations are relatively small and do not significantly affect Earth's overall mass.
