In what sphere do chemicals have the shortest average residence time?
Chemicals typically have the shortest average residence time in the atmosphere. This is due to rapid processes such as precipitation, photochemical reactions, and atmospheric transport that can quickly remove or transform substances. For example, certain pollutants can be dispersed or degraded within days to weeks, contrasting with longer residence times seen in soil or sediment environments.
What is comets diameter?
It is not exactly a sphere, the longest axis is 15km and the shortest one is 8km.
What are the importance of spherical trigonometry in mathematics?
We live on a sphere. Calculating 'shortest' distance on the sphere is not a simple trig problem, you may need spherical trig.
What is comet Halley's diameter?
It is not exactly a sphere, the longest axis is 15km and the shortest one is 8km.
When flying from Florida (1) to the Philippine Islands (3) why does the shortest route pass through Alaska (2)?
Consider the Earth as a sphere - the fact that it is oblate is only of minor significance. The shortest route on the surface of a sphere is an arc of the Great Circle. This is a circle whose centre is at the centre of the sphere and which passes through the start and end points.
What is called a great circle?
A great circle is any circle on the surface of a sphere whose center is at the center of the sphere. The shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere is a part of the great circle that passes through them.
What is the shortest path between places on a globe?
The shortest path between two points on a globe is known as a great circle route. This route represents the shortest distance over the Earth's surface, calculated by following the curve of the sphere. Great circles are formed by the intersection of the surface of the sphere and a plane that passes through the center of the sphere. Examples include the paths taken by airplanes, which often appear curved on flat maps due to the Earth's curvature.
What does the great-circle route represent?
It is the shortest distance between two points on a sphere, where the sphere in question is the earth. Particularly long airline flights follow great circle routes.
The center of a great circle is also the center of a small circle?
If talking in terms of the shortest distance around a sphere, the answer is NO.
Why is there no such thing as 2 sided polygons?
actually, there is, depending on your definition of polygon, and your definition of a line segment. A line segment is the shortest path btwn two points, right? So take a sphere and pick any two points on that sphere. The shortest path between them on the surface of the sphere would be a "curve" along the surface, but it's the shortest path between the points, so it technally is a line segment. Take two of these line segments that intersect at two points, and there is your two sided polygon!
Is the average classroom globe a perfect sphere?
no it is not a perfect sphere because the average classroom globe shows landforms and mountains on the globe which makes it not as smooth or round
What is the number of faces for a sphere?
On average 16-18
