It's called a transit. e.g. When Venus or Mercury come between Earth and Sun we get a transit of Venus or a transit of Mercury. If it's the Moon and the conditions are right, we get a special type of transit called an eclipse, and that is because the angular sizes of the sun and moon are very similar.

When you touch something with your finger is real touch means no space between finger and object?

Right. There would be no space between your finger and the object in question, in order to touch. Sort of like if Deanie Etcetera put her finger on Mitch Longley's... face, there would be no space between Deanie's finger and Mitch face. Answer: All object include molecules have space between them physics theory about 5 rings instead molecules and nucleus.


To circle around an object in space?

In space, objects can orbit around another object due to gravitational forces. The orbiting object moves around the central object in a curved path, which can appear as though it is "circling around" the central object. This circular motion is a result of the balance between the speed of the orbiting object and the gravitational force pulling it towards the central object.


The difference between volume and mass?

Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object, measured in cubic units like liters or cubic meters. Mass, on the other hand, is the amount of matter in an object, measured in units like grams or kilograms. In simple terms, volume describes the space an object takes up, while mass describes the amount of material in that object.


What causes an eclipses and why?

An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.


What are brightest and darkest objects in space?

Hypernovae are the brightest object in space while black holes are the darkest object in space.

What celestial (space)object can a meteoroid come from?

The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.


What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?

The term for when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced is "gravitational equilibrium." This occurs when the gravitational force pulling inward is exactly counteracted by an outward force, such as pressure from internal fusion reactions in stars.


What space objects can a meteoroid come from?

The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.


The decrease in the volume of an object as if cools is called?

The decrease in the volume of an object as it cools is called thermal contraction. This occurs because as the temperature decreases, the particles in the object slow down, reducing the space between them and causing the object to shrink in volume.


Distinguish between apparent weightlessness and true weightlessness?

Apparent weightlessness occurs when an object is in free fall, making it feel weightless due to the absence of support forces. True weightlessness occurs when an object is at a point in space where the gravitational pull is negligible, resulting in a complete absence of gravitational forces acting on the object.


What is the Space between an object and text?

The space between an object and text is often referred to as padding or margin. Padding is the space inside the border of the object, while margin is the space outside the border of the object. Adjusting padding and margin can help control the layout and spacing of elements on a page.

How does displacement happen?

Displacement occurs when an object changes its position from one point to another. It is characterized by the straight line between the initial and final positions the object occupies in space. Displacement is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.


What do we call it when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced?

When the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced, we call it zero gravity or weightlessness. This occurs when the object is in free fall or orbiting the Earth without any external forces acting on it to counteract gravity.

What is difference between object space and image space in graphics?

Object space refers to the coordinate system in which an object's vertices and shapes are defined. Image space, on the other hand, refers to the coordinate system in which the final rendered image is created, mapping the object space to the 2D screen space by using projection and transformation matrices. Object space is typically 3D while image space is usually 2D.


What is the heat transfer that occurs between the sun and the outer layer of the skin?

The heat energy comes from the Sun to us via electromagnetic radiation, mainly light, which can propagate through empty space.
