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.

The sun produces energy from matter in its core through the process of

fusion

What do all of the terrestrial planets have in common

They all have solid, rocky surfaces.

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.

The farther a star is away from earth the more it is

red shifted

Prominences may be seen in the suns

Solar prominence are seen in the photosphere of the sun that goes further in the corona. These prominences can reach out over thousands of kilometers.

Which group of planets has more in common the inner planets or the outer planets

All the inner planets are terrestrial planets.

Sunspots are temporary disturbances in the sun's

Sunspots are the temporary dark spots on the surface of the sun, specifically the photosphere. Sunspots can get as big as 50,000 km long. Sunspots can interrupt terrestrial magnetism.

What two things balance to maintain the shape of a star

Pressure and gravity

Match each event with its description

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