The largest particles in science are typically subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are on the scale of femtometers (10^-15 meters) in size. These particles make up atoms, which are on the scale of angstroms (10^-10 meters) in size.
Gas particles do not touch each other in the way that solid particles do. The particles in a gas are in constant motion and are separated by large distances relative to their size. However, they can collide with each other and with the walls of their container.
A logarithmic graph would best represent the relationship between stream velocity and the size of particles it can carry downstream. As velocity increases, the stream can carry larger particles due to increased erosion and transport capacity. However, there will be a limit to the size of particles carried downstream as velocity continues to increase.
When light changes direction after colliding with particles of matter, it undergoes a process known as scattering. Depending on the size of the particles relative to the wavelength of light, different types of scattering such as Rayleigh scattering or Mie scattering can occur, leading to effects like the blue sky or a red sunset.
The two factors that determine the physical characteristics of sediments are the size or grain size of the particles and the shape of the particles. Grain size refers to the diameter of the sediment particles, while shape refers to the angularity and roundness of the particles.
One method to separate different size particles is by using sieving, which involves passing a mixture of particles through a sieve with different mesh sizes. Smaller particles can pass through finer mesh sizes while larger particles are retained. This allows for the separation of particles based on their size.
Mercury has the largest core relative to its overall size among the terrestrial planets. The core makes up about 85% of Mercury's radius, compared to about 55% for Earth's core size relative to its radius.
The three basic textures a soil can have are sand (largest particle size), silt (medium particle size), and clay (smallest particle size). The relative proportions of these particles in a soil determine its texture and properties such as water retention and drainage.
Alaska is the state with the largest area and the largest population density (That is, Population relative to size).
Antarctica is the fifth largest continent on earth, and is about the size of USA and Mexico, combined.
Sand has the largest particle size among soil types. It is composed of particles ranging from 0.05 to 2.0 millimeters in diameter, making it larger than silt and clay particles.
The barnacle species with the largest penis relative to its size is the Antarctic acorn barnacle, which can have a penis that is up to 8 times its body length. This adaptation allows the barnacle to reach neighboring individuals for successful reproduction in their crowded environment.
Jupiter. It has the largest moon in the solar system called Ganymede. The earth has the largest moon relative to its size though.
Chicago is the largest city in Illinois.
Electrons are the smallest, protons and neutrons largest.
Sand has the largest grain size compared to mud and clay. Sand particles range in size from 0.0625 mm to 2 mm, while mud and clay particles are much smaller, typically less than 0.002 mm in size.
The largest particle size in soil is known as gravel, which typically ranges from 2 to 64 millimeters in diameter. Gravel particles are larger than sand and silt particles and contribute to soil drainage and aeration.
Round particles of the same size, as in pure quartz sand.
