You can observe to see if a star appears to wobble over time, due to the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet. You can also obseve the light being emmited from the star. The intensity of light from a star can increase (not decrease) when a planet passes in front of the star relative to the observer. This is because the planet's gravity acts like a lens.

Is concave lens used for distance vision or near vision?

Concave lenses are typically used for correcting nearsightedness (myopia), which is a condition where distant objects appear blurry. These lenses help diverge light rays before they reach the eye, allowing the focus to be corrected for distant vision.


What are the key differences between myopia and normal vision?

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. Normal vision, on the other hand, allows for clear vision of both near and distant objects.


Is there force acting on a rock moving in a straight line in outer space at constant speed give reasonswhat happens if this rock comes near a planet?

Yes -gravity. (please note that there's probably not any rocks traveling in a straight line) If it comes near a planet it will be attracted, if the attraction is sufficient, they will collide.


Which planet has A strong magnetic field accelerates charged particles near the planet's poles so that when the particles interact with the atsmosphere brilliant colors are produced?

The planet is Jupiter, and the phenomenon is known as the auroras at the planet's poles. Jupiter's strong magnetic field accelerates charged particles, typically electrons, which collide with gases in its atmosphere, producing bright auroras.


What causes the part of earths magnetic field called the magnetosphere to exist?

Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.

What is one indication that a planet may exist near a distant star?

If a distant star has a slight back and forth motion then it may be located near a planet. The gravitational force of the planet will cause the star to move.

Is there life on the planet Pluto?

It is very unlikely that there is any life at all on Pluto. It is too small, it is too distant from the sun, and it probably doesn't have anywhere near the right materials.

What is used to make distant things appear near?

Lenses, such as in binoculars or telescopes, are used to make distant things appear near by focusing and magnifying the light from those objects onto our eyes. This allows us to see distant objects with greater clarity and detail.


Can a quasar obliterate an entire planet?

No, a quasar is a distant celestial object that emits intense amounts of energy. While a quasar can release powerful radiation and energy into space, it cannot directly obliterate an entire planet in the way a weapon might. The impact of a quasar on a planet would depend on factors such as distance and the planet's atmosphere.


What part of the eye uses small muscles to change its shape so that you can focus on near or distant objects?

The ciliary muscles are responsible for changing the shape of the lens in the eye so that you can focus on near or distant objects. When these muscles contract, they thicken the lens for near vision, and when they relax, the lens becomes thinner for distant vision.
