Asteroids

There is no standard unit called "kioletre." Millilitre (mL) is used to measure volume, where 1 millilitre is equal to 0.001 litres or 1 cubic centimetre. If "kioletre" is not a recognized unit, it cannot be compared to a millilitre.

DDT is a persistent organic pollutant with a half life of between 2-15 years, and is immobile in most soils. Its half life is 56 days in lake water and approximately 28 days in river water. Routes of loss and degradation include runoff, volatilization, photolysis and biodegradation (aerobic and anaerobic). These processes generally occur slowly. Breakdown products in the soil environment are DDE (1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-dichlorodiphenyl)ethylene) and DDD (1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane), which are also highly persistent and have similar chemical and physical properties. These products together are known as total DDT. DDT and its metabolic products DDE and DDD magnify through the food chain, with apex predators such as raptors having a higher concentration of the chemicals (stored mainly in body fat) than other animals sharing the same environment. In the United States, human blood and fat tissue samples collected in the early 1970s showed detectable levels in all samples. A later study of blood samples collected in the later half of the 1970s (after the U.S. DDT ban) showed that blood levels were declining further, but DDT or metabolites were still seen in a very high proportion of the samples. Biomonitoring conducted by the CDC as recently as 2002 shows that more than half of subjects tested had detectable levels of DDT or metabolites in their blood, and of the 700+ milk samples tested by the USDA in 2005, 85% had detectable levels of DDE. DDT is a toxicant across a certain range of phyla. In particular, DDT has been cited as a major reason for the decline of the bald eagle in the 1950s and 1960s as well as the peregrine falcon. DDT and its breakdown products are toxic to embryos and can disrupt calcium absorption thereby impairing egg-shell quality. Studies in the 1960s and 1970s failed to find a mechanism for the hypothesized thinning,however more recent studies in the 1990s and 2000s have laid the blame at the feet of DDE, but not all experts accept those claims. Some studies have shown that although DDE levels have fallen dramatically that eggshell thinness remains 10-12 percent thinner than pre-DDT thicknesses.In general, however, DDT in small quantities has very little effect on birds; its primary metabolite, DDE, has a much greater effect. DDT is also highly toxic to aquatic life, including crayfish, daphnids, sea shrimp and many species of fish. DDT may be moderately toxic to some amphibian species, especially in the larval stages. In addition to acute toxic effects, DDT may bioaccumulate significantly in fish and other aquatic species, leading to long-term exposure to high concentrations. http://www.answers.com/topic/ddt?cat=health

There have been rare cases of players sustaining fatal injuries during rugby matches, usually as a result of head or neck injuries. Safety measures and protocols are in place to minimize these risks, such as strict tackling rules and medical assessments for players. The rugby community continuously works to improve player safety and prevent such incidents.

that's actually the equator

The term "Things are looking up" wasn't really a saying, it was just a clue to who was Mr. McMahon's illigtimate son, which turned out to be Hornswoggle.

If the auto shoulder belt in your 1989 Toyota Cressida is not closing, there may be an issue with the belt retraction mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing proper operation. If the issue persists, it is recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the problem.

The terminal velocity of a human in free fall is around 120 mph (190 km/h). At this speed, the force of air resistance pushing upward is equal to the force of gravity pulling downward, resulting in a stable descent.

An asteroid is larger than a meteoroid, though the actual size requirement is not defined.

There are no current public plans for what happens if an asteroid is on a confirmed collusion course with the earth by any government. Although many governments most notably the UK have commissioned companies to submit plans for the inevitable event. On the other hand it is widely believed that most governments have secret plans on what their government will do in the event.

Plans have circulated the scientific community about what to do. These plans include breaking the asteroid up with nuclear devices, despite the general consensus that asteroids are too dense for a nuclear device to do any damage and even if it does it will simply break the asteroid into several objects still on a collusion course. Other plans include pushing/diverting the asteroid with a variety objects including a laser beam to slowly push the asteroid.

Currently NASA tracks any object that is 700m or greater in diameter although plans are in the works to make that 70m. Another possibility that has been documented is that the Russians have 3 50 kiloton nuclear missles in silos strategically placed across siberia. although this approach would work it would send a debris cloud hurtling towards earth causing wide spread but minor damage.

A meteorite with a 1km diameter will undoubtedly cause global damage. It is believed that a meterite a bit larger was responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs. Rocks this big only appears to hit Earth once every 100 million years.

Despite moving through the rarified upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere the immense speed at which a meteor travels rapidly compresses the air in its path. The meteoroid then experiences what is known as ram pressure. As the air in front of the meteoroid is compressed its temperature quickly rises.

The Earth has undoubtedly been struck by many different asteroids over the past few billion years, though the signs of many have been eroded away by weather and geological changes. Among the more well known places of such collisions are the 110-mile Chicxulub Crater at the end of the Yucatán Peninsula (which ended the dinosaurs), the 4,000-foot wide Meteor Crater in Arizona, and the site of the Tunguska River from the overhead detonation of an asteroid in 1908.

There is no specific asteroid named "Abai" that is widely recognized or recorded in scientific literature. It is possible that "Abai" may refer to a fictional asteroid or a lesser-known one that has not been extensively studied or categorized.

Pieces of space debris that are smaller than the smallest asteroid are commonly referred to as "space junk" or "microdebris." These can include fragments of satellites, rocket parts, or even paint flecks that have broken off from larger objects in space. Despite their small size, they can still pose a threat to spacecraft and satellites due to their high speeds and the potential for collisions.

No, asteroids are not strange balls of light that appear from nowhere. They are rocky, irregularly shaped objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Occasionally, when an asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it may create a brilliant fireball known as a meteor.

Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.

C: they are carbonaceous---made of silicate materials with a lot of carbon compounds so they appear very dark. They reflect only 3 to 4% of the sunlight hitting them. You can tell what they are made of by analyzing the spectra of sunlight reflecting off of them. This reflectance spectra shows that they are primitive, unchanged since they first solidified about 4.6 billion years ago. A sizable fraction of the asteroids are of this type. The asteroid called Mathilde, explored by the NEAR spacecraft is an example of this type.

The main difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid is size. Asteroids are larger objects, typically measuring more than 10 meters in diameter, while meteoroids are smaller, ranging from a few meters down to dust-sized particles. Additionally, asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while meteoroids can be found in various places, including the asteroid belt, as well as comets or other sources.

The orbital period of asteroid 12867 Joëloïc is approximately 3.92 years or 1430 days. It completes one orbit around the sun in this time.

An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the Sun, typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and can vary in size from small boulders to objects several hundred kilometers in diameter.

Killer asteroids, also known as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), are space rocks that have the potential to collide with the Earth and cause significant damage or even mass extinction. These asteroids are typically larger than 1 kilometer in diameter and follow orbits that bring them close to our planet. However, the term "killer asteroids" is used more in popular culture rather than the scientific community.

The fact that most asteroids are in the same plane as Earth, known as the ecliptic plane, is beneficial for a couple of reasons. First, it makes it easier for astronomers to observe and study these asteroids. Second, it reduces the likelihood of catastrophic asteroid collisions with Earth, as they are confined to this plane rather than randomly scattered throughout space. This alignment allows for more efficient monitoring and tracking of these objects.

This is answers.com, not the psychic network.Nobody knows. Various people have predicted various things, but until one of them happens, we won't know for sure.

At one time it was believed that mass extinctions were periodic, and some analyses suggested we were about due for one ... but as more data has come in, it now looks like the periodicity may have been a statistical coincidence, and that smaller extinction events occur all the time. There was a relatively recent one in the oceans about two million years ago, for example (the last really major one was the K-Pg event 66 million years ago, widely thought to have been caused by an asteroid impact).

The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, roughly 2.1 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. On average, it sits at about 2.7 AU. One astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, approximately 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.
