Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?

27 smaller cells would have a greater surface area than one large cell. This is because the total surface area of the smaller cells would be greater due to the additional surface area of the cell membranes around each individual cell.


How big does an asteroid have to be to survive burn up on entry through the atmosphere?

An asteroid typically needs to be at least 25 meters in diameter to survive entry through the Earth's atmosphere and hit the surface. Smaller asteroids usually burn up and disintegrate due to the intense heat and pressure generated during atmospheric entry.


When is the next asteroid going to orbit earth?

Well some people say that the world might end in 2039 by an asteroid called apophis. If it hits in the Pacific Ocean then there will be monsunes that are up to 52 feet tall and will flood Hawaii, California, through Alaska. If the asteroid hits the Atlantic Ocean then the lands that are close to the alantic ocean are going to be flooded.


What type of object is abundant between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter?

The asteroid belt lies in between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. Over 40,000 asteroids with at least a half mile diameter are found in the asteroid belt.Asteroids.


How fast of speed does a astriod go?

I assume you mean "asteroid". The speed of an asteroid is comparable to that of a planet. For example, an asteroid with an orbit similar to Earth's orbit would have a speed similar to Earth, which moves around the Sun at a rate of 30 km/second. An asteroid that is much further out will be slower; one that gets closer to the Sun will move faster, at least during part of its orbit.You can calculate the speed of an asteroid from Earth's speed, and the relative distances to the Sun, using Kepler's Third Law.

What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteor?

The word "meteor" refers to the streak of light in the sky caused when something falls into the Earth's atmosphere at very high speed, and is heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating. The "something" can be a rock the size of a grain of rice, or anything larger. Before it hits the atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid"; if it survives to strike the Earth, the fragments if found are called "meteorites". An asteroid is a chunk of rock floating in space, orbiting the Sun. The term can be applied to anything large enough to be visible, but is typically applied to rocks at least a few meters in diameter. There's a lot of gray area between "meteoroid" and "asteroid".


How big does an asteroid need to be in order to impact Earth?

An asteroid needs to be at least 25 meters in diameter to cause significant damage upon impacting Earth.

Venus does not have any moons, but there is at least one known asteroid orbiting it.


Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?

27 smaller cells would have a greater surface area than one large cell. This is because the total surface area of the smaller cells would be greater due to the additional surface area of the cell membranes around each individual cell.

How large does a mirror have to be in order for you to see your whole body in it?

This depends on how far you are from the mirror. The father you stand, the smaller the mirror can be. If you stand right next to it, it had to be at least as tall and wide as you are.
