Evapotranspiration is the process of

a plant releasing water vapor.

The shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the sun is an

elliptical

Which planet do most known extrasolar planets most resemble

Jupiter Neptune

The planet that most extrasolar planets resembles Jupiter.

Jupiter(apex)
Most of the confirmed Exoplanets are larger gaseous planets with large masses. These are easier to detect and confirm due to their size. They most resemble Jupiter, although many are thought to be much larger than our largest planet.

Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes

Planets are considerably smaller than their parent stars, also they emit no light and are very close to the star. With all this combined, separating between the two with a telescope is very difficult.

It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun

Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star.

ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.

As water is cooled its density does what until it reaches about 4 C

As water is cooled its density increases until it reaches about 4 C and then it decreases.

What is true about the satellite titan

That it is Saturn's biggest moon and it has an atmosphere.

Which best describes the beginning of the big bang

Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-

Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.

Select the star life cycle that is accurate.

star of one stellar mass, red giant, planetary nebula, white dwarf

How many low tides happen at a given coast in any 24 hour.

Up to 2 low-tides. It depends upon the alignment of the Sun and the Moon, the tides, the state of the ocean and the shape of the coastline. Some areas are semi-diurnal, with two high tides and two low tides. Other areas can receive a mixed tide, which is one low tide and one high tide per day.

Match each event with its description

full moon

Which best describes the big bang theory

Matter was compressed into a single point and then exploded outward to form the universe - APEX
