What is the average day temperature of Jupiter in Fahrenheit?

Jupiter's average surface temperature is -244 degrees Fahrenheit or -153 degrees Celsius. The average temperature in Jupiter's clouds is about -220 degrees Fahrenheit or -140 degrees Celsius. The hydrogen in Jupiter's inner core is in a liquid form.

If an object weighs 30 N on the moon then how much does it weigh on earth?

An object or bunch of objects that weigh 300 pounds on the earth would, if transported to the

surface of the moon, weigh 48.98 pounds there. (rounded)

What does sun split mean?

"Sun split" typically refers to a photographic technique where the sun is positioned in such a way that it creates a split or divided effect in the image. This can result in a striking visual composition with contrasting light and shadows. Photographers often use this technique to create dramatic and dynamic images with a strong visual impact.

What star was next to the moon tonight?

That was the rare conjunction of the crescent moon and Venus. You will be able to find a lot of discussion on that to include some pictures. There is a pretty good one Here (http://cs.astronomy.com/asycs/forums/p/25742/342502.aspx#342502) Scroll down to the post by maryccc and you will see the shot she took of it last night. In a couple more nights the moon will be next to Saturn.

What did the Theory Of Relativity influence?

Not an easy question to answer....but basically everything. The theory of relativitiy perfect describes how massive object interact with each other, how gravity influences other objects in space.

What star names have only 3 letters?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Some star names with only three letters include Betelgeuse, Capella, Rigel, and Vega. Just like painting, astronomy is full of wonders waiting to be discovered!

What are seismic plates?

seismic plates, or tectonic plates, are huge 'plates' of rocks that exist beneath the earth's surface that rest upon molten rock. It is on the borders of these plates that 'fault lines' occur and these are hotspots of volcanic and seismic activity such as earthquakes.

What is the weight of the Earth with and without people?

The weight of the Earth is approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms. This weight includes everything on Earth, including all living organisms, such as humans. If we were to calculate the weight of the Earth without people, we would need to subtract the average weight of all humans (around 62 kilograms per person) from the total weight of the Earth. This would give us an estimate of the Earth's weight without people.

How many degrees is polaris from true north?

There is no standard degree that is always between true north and magnetic north. Depending on where your location is will their be a declination. Because true north is a location and magnetic north is a field that is at a constant slow move.

What is the only thing to go beyond the limits of our universe?

As of current scientific understanding, the concept of "going beyond the limits of our universe" is not well-defined or understood. The universe, by definition, encompasses all of space, time, matter, and energy. There are speculative theories such as multiverse or higher dimensions that suggest the existence of realms or structures beyond our observable universe, but these ideas are still theoretical and have not been empirically proven. In essence, the question itself may not have a definitive answer within the bounds of our current knowledge and understanding of the universe.

What is the science the deals with space travel?

Many fields of knowledge are drawn upon to construct vessels suitable for space travel. Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the study of the motion of rockets and other spacecraft.

For a full list of disciplines involved in spacecraft design, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_design

What is the celestial images made while lying prone in the snow?

Oh, dude, that's a fancy way of saying "snow angels." You know, when you flop down in the snow and wave your arms and legs around like you're making a snow angel? Yeah, that's the celestial image you're talking about. It's like art, but with your body and snow.

What is the significance of the Schwarzschild radius?

A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?

A group of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity is known as a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes and can contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy containing around 100-400 billion stars. The gravitational forces within a galaxy keep its components bound together in a cohesive structure.

How long would it take to get to the sun from the earth traveling 1000 mph?

First of all ... for various reasons, no space vehicle ever travels in a straight line. But just to

get an idea of the distance involved, we'll assume that we can travel straight, point-to-point.

The earth's average distance from the sun is 149.6 million km (93 million miles). Traveling at

a speed of 100 km/hr, it would take roughly 171 years to cover that distance.

(62,333 days)

How much would a 100 pound person weigh on Ceres?

100 pounds The gravity on the moon is approximalty 1/6 that of earth's gravity. *** To be more precise it's 102 pounds. The moon's gravity is about 17 percent that of earth's. Multiply any weight in earth by 0.17 to get its weight in the moon.

What is the actual amount of light a star gives off called?

The actual amount of light a star gives off is called its luminosity. Luminosity is a measure of the total amount of energy emitted by a star per unit time, typically expressed in terms of watts or solar luminosities. Luminosity is a crucial parameter in understanding the characteristics and evolution of stars.

Why did everyone think earth was the center of the Universe?

The belief that Earth was the center of the Universe, known as the geocentric model, originated from ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Ptolemy. They observed the apparent motion of celestial bodies in the sky and developed a complex system of epicycles to explain their movements around Earth. Additionally, the geocentric model was supported by religious beliefs and societal norms at the time, reinforcing the idea that Earth was a special and central place in the cosmos. It wasn't until the 16th century, with the work of astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo, that the heliocentric model placing the Sun at the center of the solar system gained acceptance.

What is the eccentricity of Uranus?

The eccentricity of Uranus is approximately 0.044405586, making its orbit around the Sun slightly more elliptical than a perfect circle. Eccentricity is a measure of how elongated an orbit is, with 0 representing a perfect circle and 1 representing a parabolic orbit. Uranus has a relatively low eccentricity compared to other planets in our solar system.

When can you take sun after the liposuction?

After liposuction, it is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least two to six weeks, depending on your surgeon’s specific advice. During the early recovery phase, your skin is sensitive and prone to complications like discoloration, scarring, or prolonged swelling if exposed to UV rays. Even after the initial healing, the treated areas and incisions require extra care to prevent hyperpigmentation or irritation.

When venturing outdoors, use a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or higher), wear protective clothing like long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat, and try to stay in shaded areas. Avoid intense sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM–4 PM) and consult your doctor for personalized guidance on your recovery timeline

How long is one Saturn month?

What do you mean by "Saturn month"?

On Earth, a "month" is based upon the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth or to go through its phases.

Saturn has several large moons; you can look up their periods of revolution around Saturn if you like.

Titan is easily Saturn's largest moon

You could define a "Saturn month" based on Titan's period of revolution, but there is no such term in general use.

Suppose the Moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?

Well, honey, if the Moon decided to show off and spin as fast as Earth, then yes, we would see different sides of the Moon from Earth. But let's be real, the Moon is just too lazy to do that, so we're stuck with its one pretty face staring back at us.

What is the period of a planet whose solar distance is 10 AU?

The period of a planet can be calculated using Kepler's third law, which states that the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit. For a planet at a solar distance of 10 AU, the period can be calculated as (10^3)^(1/2) = 10 years.

Does it really take 24 hours for earth to rotate on its axis?

No. It takes 24 hours to bring the observed position of the sun (on average throughout the year) to the same place in the sky. Because the earth is going around the sun, each six months the sun is south at midday but pointing in an exactly opposite direction to the stars as it was 6 mths before. The rotation period is about 4 mins less than 24 hours.
