evapotranspiration or just transpiration

How do waves change as they approach the shore

As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.

What aspect of the gas giants has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites

The aspect of the gas giants that has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites is their gravity.

What may an accretion disk eventually form

solar system

Material that is in orbit around a massive central body is an accretion disk. This disk can eventually turn into a white dwarf star.

An accretion disc may eventually form planets such as the ones in our solar system.

Sunspots sit on the sun's

photosphere

What was found by astronomers who noticed a strange pattern in the orbit of Uranus

Neptune

The moon is not visible to observers on Earth

new moon

Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to have higher

Gas giants have a higher mass.

This means that the gas giants have a more gravity to hold moons in orbit around them.

Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet

This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.

Which term best describes a stellar nursery

Is the planet that features the runaway greenhouse effect.
