Generally, smaller objects are carried farther by the wind because they have less surface area to resist the wind's force. A lighter weight can also enable an object to catch more gusts and travel further.

What mathematical equation would you use to explain why the sun and the moon appear to be the same size?

The apparent size of an object can be calculated using the equation: apparent size = actual size / distance between observer and object. The sun and the moon appear to be the same size in the sky because even though the sun is much larger than the moon, it is also much farther away from Earth, resulting in them having a similar apparent size when viewed from Earth.


Is the farther a planet is from the sun have less gravity it has?

No. The strength of gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.


How would the North Pole be represented on the Mercator?

The North Pole would be a point at the very top of the Mercator projection map, as it distorts the size and shape of objects farther from the equator. This means that the North Pole would appear as a single point rather than a region as it is in reality.


What is particle size of sand?

I think sand has small particle size. This would mean that it's good at holding water because the water can fill up the gaps but I didn't think sand was very good at holding water.


Why you would expect that Mercury would not have an appreciable atmosphere?

Because the solar wind would carry it away into space and also Mercury has a small size and therefore a relatively low surface gravity (compared to Earth's). It's also very close to the Sun. Over time the Sun heated its atmospherecausing the gas molecules to move around much faster and eventually escape into space. If Mercury had been much larger or farther from the Sun then it might currently retain an atmosphere like Venus and Earth (and to a lesser extent, Mars) do.

Wind blowing across bare soil moves earth material. which size of particle do you think the wind would carry farther and which would it deposit first.?

Wind is more likely to carry smaller sand and silt particles farther, while larger gravel and pebble particles would be deposited first due to their weight and size. This process is known as particle sorting, where the wind picks up and transport particles of varying sizes based on their weight and size.


What would happen to the size of the image if the green pencil were moved farther away from the mirrors?

If the green pencil is moved farther away from the mirrors, the size of the image would decrease. This is because the image distance would increase, causing the image to shrink in size.


What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?

The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).


Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?

In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.


How many people does a tram carry?

The quantity of passengers is depending of the tram's size. I think that large trams carry an average of 50/60 people.

What sizes do Rigby and Peller carry?

Rigby and Peller carry many sizes. But, if you want to be sure they carry your size, I would recommend calling or visiting your local store to make sure. You can also get a fitting if you aren't sure what size you need.

Can a thousand ants carry cheese?

Strong for their size, they can carry objects many times their own weight..It would depend on how big the cheese was.
