It would be catastrophic. First of all, it would release large amounts of chlorine gas into the ocean (NaCl), killing almost everything. All animals need salt, so animals would die.

What 2 factors would affect how thick a planet's atmosphere is?

The strength of the planet's gravitational field and exposure to solar wind.


Explain why a change in extracellular sodium did not alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron?

A change in extracellular sodium concentration would not alter the resting membrane potential of a neuron because the resting potential is primarily determined by the relative concentrations of sodium and potassium ions inside and outside the cell, as mediated by the sodium-potassium pump and leak channels. Changes in extracellular sodium concentration would not directly affect this equilibrium.


What direction a planet would travel if gravity did not affect it?

Straight. If gravity did not pull a planet into an elliptical orbit, momentum would cause it to continue straight ahead at the same speed it had been moving. If the Sun's gravity were to magically disappear, the Earth would fly off into space at 67,000 miles per hour.


How would a planet move if thew sun suddenly disappeared explain?

(Please note that in real life, masses can't simply "disappear".) For 8 minutes and 20 seconds (in the case of Earth), or for less or more time, depending on the distance of the planet from the Sun, the planet would continue orbiting the place where the Sun was. After that, the change in the gravitational field will have had enough time to reach Earth; the planet will no longer "feel" the pull of the Sun, and will continue moving in a straight line.


How can an orbit of a planet affect life on that planet?

The only planet in that category is the Earth, the planet most people live on. How does the orbit affect life? without the orbit there is no life on Earth, so it's fundamental really. The orbit keeps our temperature within narrow band so that life can exist and flourish. Without an orbit the Earth would travel off into outer space and the temperature would quickly descend below -200 degrees everywhere.

What planet has disappeared?

No planet has "disappeared" (at least not from our solar system). You are probably referring to Pluto. Pluto used to be considered a planet, but scientists have discussed this topic and now it is just considered an asteroid.

What would happen if sodium disappeared?

Think about all the things that have salt. The ocean, our bodies (none the less we cant live without salt so we would all die) things like that. All the sea animals would die because they live in a salty environment.

How does a greenhouse effect affect a planet?

A greenhouse effect traps heat that would otherwise escape out to space, so it keeps the planet warm.
