What is the second name of functional affixes?
The second name of functional affixes is "grammatical affixes." These affixes serve a grammatical purpose in a language, such as indicating tense, number, or case, as opposed to carrying lexical meaning like content words. They include prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and circumfixes that modify the meanings of root words.
How many life species will died out when if apophis hit the earth in 2029 or 2036?
about 60 or 70% of life species plus humans will died out when if the asteroid apophis when if hit the earth that asteroid is size of manhattan same size which killed off the dinosaurs
Is Saturn inside or outside the asteroid belt?
Saturn is outside the asteroid belt. It is one of the outer planets rather than the inner planets, and that determination is made by whether they are between the Sun and the Asteroid Belt, or not.
The order goes like this:
The Trojan asteroids have orbits that?
The Trojan asteroids have orbits that are located along the same path as a planet, about 60 degrees ahead or behind the planet. They are in gravitationally stable regions called Lagrange points, which result from the interaction between the gravity of the planet and the Sun.
How do people react to comets?
Some with fear. Comets, which are called that because they appear to be "hairy stars," suggest that there are big changes in the otherwise stable heavens and this can be very upsetting. We know today that comets are relatively small, relatively common, and - unless one should actually hit the Earth, which is not very likely - pretty harmless. Probably because a big event in the sky seemed as though it should be connected with a big event on Earth, back during the fear period comets came to be associated with the death of kings. No everybody believed this. When the Roman Emperor Vespasian was told about a comet, he joked that since it was so hairy, it couldn't be a message for him, as he was bald.
The average asteroid is no bigger than a house, but there are millions that are the size of football fields. The smallest ones that we can detect are the size of boulders, and most orbit somewhere between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt. There are uncounted millions of small asteroids and meteoroids.
Estimated approximate number of asteroids larger than a given diameter:
100 m - 25 000 000
300 m - 4 000 000
500 m - 2 000 000
1 km - 750 000
3 km - 200 000
5 km - 90 000
10 km - 10 000
30 km - 1 100
50 km - 600
100 km- 200
200 km- 30
300 km- 5
500 km- 3
900 km- 1
The four largest contain 51% of the mass of all the asteroids. (Ceres alone is larger than the dwarf planet Pluto and more than 1/3 the mass of all athe asteroids)
What would happen with global warming if earth is hit by an asteroid?
Depending on the size of the asteroid and the speed of its collision, millions of tons of dust will explode into the atmosphere and be carried all round the world, blotting out the sun.
Without the sun's heat the atmosphere would cool and global warming would slow. If the dust cloud remains for years many species will die. This is one of the theories for the disappearance of the dinosaurs.
Can fire really burn off asteroids or meteors?
Friction with the Earth's atmosphere really does destroy the smaller meteors that fall toward the earth. That friction makes the object so hot that it looks like a fire, but it is really just friction - not a fire.
Asteroids and meteors do not burn with fire. They are traveling at speeds from 17,000 mph to 50,000 mph relative to earth so that when they enter earth's atmosphere friction with the air heats them white hot which melts their surfaces, thermal stresses can cause them to explode in the air, and the smaller ones vaporize. Some can make it to the surface of the earth still red hot and if they land on flammable material can ignite fires. Some are large enough that they collide with the earth's surface with enough remaining velocity that they explode underground creating impact craters.
What are ways to calm peoples fear of large asteroids?
Large asteroids are quite dangerous but thankfully we are unlikely to be killed by one. "The chances of an individual dying from the aftermath of an asteroid collision are about one in 10 million per year" according to astronomer David Morrison.
Furthermore we have a natural protection from the Moon and its gravity which either catches or diverts a large portion of asteroids headed our way. Also we have quite a lot of satellites and earth based observation tools to detect and predict the path of asteroids headed our way. If an asteroid is likely to hit we have plans to deal with the problem ,although this largely depends on the size of the asteroid. If you are interested to find out more, check out the article I've attached below.
What kind of minerals are present in asteroids?
Asteroids are said to contain traces of Gold, Platinum, and Palladium, in addition to Iron and Nickel. The quantity of such elements present in the asteroids depends upon the size of the asteroid.
A meteoroid. (A "meteor" is the flash of light in the sky.)
I don't get the difference. "Tumble end-over-end" is just that - rotate around their axis.
What was the object that struck the earth over 4 billion years ago?
It is believed that a Mars-sized object, often referred to as Theia, struck Earth over 4 billion years ago, leading to the formation of the Moon. This collision altered Earth's composition and had a significant impact on its early development.
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called?
A chunk of rock found between Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These rocky objects are leftovers from the early formation of the solar system and are primarily located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is larger than a terabyte?
1024 terabytes equals 1 petabyte, 1024 petabytes equals 1 exabyte, 1024 exabytes equals 1 zetabyte, and 1024 zetabytes equals 1 yottabyte. Stay tuned...
What does from the rust belt to the sun belt mean?
"From the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt" refers to the demographic and economic shift in the United States from the industrial regions in the Northeast and Midwest (the Rust Belt) to the warmer, more economically vibrant areas in the South and Southwest (the Sun Belt). This transition began in the late 20th century as manufacturing jobs declined in the Rust Belt due to deindustrialization, while the Sun Belt experienced growth in sectors like technology, agriculture, and tourism. The phrase encapsulates broader trends of migration, economic opportunity, and changing lifestyles as people seek better living conditions and job prospects.
How was asteroid 12088 Macalintal named?
12088 Macalintal is an asteroid named after Filipino Jeric V. Macalintal, a high school student cited for winning the 2002 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Louisville, Kentucky with his teammates Richard K.S. Manapat and Allan Estrella
How can humans use the asteroid belt?
you would need too have good doging skills if you where to take a ship
