Meteoroids are located throughout the solar system, with many of them found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Others can be found in orbits that intersect Earth's path, leading to potential meteor showers when they enter Earth's atmosphere. Some meteoroids can also come from comets in orbit around the sun.
The lethal dose of mercury depends on the form of mercury and the method of exposure. Inorganic mercury can be lethal in doses as low as 1 gram, while organic mercury compounds like methylmercury are toxic in much smaller doses. Acute exposure to high levels of elemental mercury vapor can also be lethal.

Why would a burette be incorporated into an infusion system?
A burrette is incorporated in an infusion system in situations where fluid volume is to be strictly limited, the burrette is filled with the desired volume and fluid is infused. It is not possible to infuse more than is in the burrette. That way the anesthestist in the case of the operating room is closely monitoring the volume infused. Once infused it is either refilled or not.
What is the largest volcano in our solar system?
Answer:
The volcanos of Mars exceed Earth's volcanos by far. Olympus Mons the largest volcanoes in the Solar System. It is 24 kilometers (15 miles) high, 550 kilometers (340 miles) in diameter. Earth's largest volcano is Mauna Loa which is 9 kilometers (6 miles) high and 120 kilometers (75 miles) across.
Othervolcanos of interest are on the Tharsis dome. There are three large shield volcanos which are 10 to 100 times larger than those on Earth.:
- Ascraeus Mons,
- Pavonis Mons and
- Arsia Mons.
and Elysium Planitia which features:
- Hecates Tholus
- Elysium Mons
- Albor Tholus.
Also of interest are:
- Alba Patera which has the horizontal extent of Olympus Mons but not the height as it is less than 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) high.
- Ceraunius Tholus another large volcano
Some new ideas from the Crusades included the introduction of Arabic numerals to Europe, leading to advancements in mathematics and business. The Crusades also brought about a greater exchange of knowledge and cultures between the East and the West, leading to increased interest in trade and exploration. Additionally, the Crusades sparked debates about religious tolerance and the nature of warfare that influenced future societal developments.
What is the name of the object with an orbital period of 58000years with a 10km diameter?
The object you are referring to is likely Sedna, a dwarf planet located in the outer regions of our solar system. Sedna's highly elliptical orbit takes it about 58000 years to complete one full orbit around the Sun, and it has an estimated diameter of around 1,000 km.
Does Uranus have a tilted axis?
Yes, Uranus has a tilted axis that is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. This axial tilt is around 98 degrees, causing extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
What is a visible index system?
A visible index system is a method of organizing and categorizing information that is easily accessible and identifiable. It typically involves using tabs, colors, or symbols to visually mark sections within a larger document, binder, or filing system for quick reference. This system helps users locate specific information more efficiently.
What is the name of a system where nobles gave land to others in exchange for services?
Feudalism is the name of the system where nobles granted land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for military or other services. This hierarchical system governed medieval society in Europe.
Below are some numbers I came up with. I would appreciate any input from real professionals in this area.
Assumptions:
average daily electric power usage of a small house - 19 kWh
average daily number of sunshine hours - 5hrs
output of a solar panel during sunshine - 190 W (Evergreen ES-190 solar panel)
sunshine - you have to be able to see shadows on the ground to obtain the specified solar panel output)
dimensions of a solar panel - 5.150 x 3.125 feet (Evergreen ES-190 solar panel)
dimensions of a Sanyo 200 watt panel: 4.325 x 2.93 feet
To cover the daily energy demand in this case you need:
19,000 kWh / 190W / 5h = 20 panels (Evergreen)
19,000 kWh / 200W / 5h = 19 panels (Sanyo)
The area needed for 20 panels (not including the spaces between them):
Evergreen: 5.150 x 3.125 x 20 = 322 square feet (or 30 square meters)
Sanyo: 4.325 x 2.93 x 19 = 241 square feet
Of course, the energy would have to be stored in batteries or the system would have to be connected to power grid.
I recently (October 2007) also read an account of a purchaser that the cost of installation per Watt in California was about $6.91 after state and federal rebates. That would give:
20 panels x 190W x $6.91 = $26,258
If the electric monthly bill was $120, the very simplified return on the investment would be:
$120 x 12 months / $26,258 = 5.5%
The investment will break even, not including inflation and price increases, after 18.2 years. As you can see, it pays to invest in energy reducing techniques before investing in solar electricity. For example, to get a new Energy Star fridge may very well bring your energy usage to 18 kWh, if your fridge is 5 years or older. As well, compact fluorescents and/or LED lighting will bring your lighting down another kWh a day or so.
Grants play a big factor in some states. The magazine Home Power has studied some cases where grants would make the payback 6 years.
EDIT: As of 2010 the cost per watt is at $5~ the average payback in southern California is about 7 to 10 years depending on electric company pay system and type of panels/inverters you are using.
EDIT: Solar Panel efficiencies vary greatly. ranging from about 60w to 245w. Obviously the higher the efficiency the lower the number of panels needed.
Can an employee have 1 child support and 2 garnishments at the same time?
Child support is not considered a 'true' garnishment. Only one judgment creditor can garnish wages at any given time. Wage garnishment judgments must run consecutively not concurrently with the garnishments taking the order in which the judgment was granted and executed.
I would feel totally devasted if I found out my husband had been checking out women on line. I am 51 and was single for many years. Recently remarried and have only been married 1 1/2 years and my husband went from Mr. Wonderful, to Mr. Lazy after about six months. Seems like there are no "real, decent" men anymore. I'm sorry for you sweetie, will say a prayer for you. I would feel totally devasted if I found out my husband had been checking out women on line. I am 51 and was single for many years.

That is a normal reaction, but we don't live in a "normal" world anymore. Lack of morals and acceptance of this sort of behavior, makes women like us the abnormal, narrow minded women of old. I prefer the old fashioned men who still look at their wives that way, not other women. All I can tell you girl, is do something nice for yourself. See if he wants to get counseling, mine didn't, so I did it for myself. Good luck and God's Blessings to you.

What is pertaining to the sun?
"Pertaining to the sun" would refer to things related to the characteristics, phenomena, or study of the sun, such as solar flares, solar energy, or solar eclipses.
How do you determine this is your clothes size?
Unfortunately there is no standardization in women's clothing. What may be a size 6 in one manufacturer's line might be an 8 or a 10 in another's. This is the reason that women spend so much time in the dressing room, to determine if the clothing fits. The best answer is that you wear a particular clothing size by a particular maker. This is what it means to wear "Liz Claiborne" or "Mizraki" or "Tommy Hilfiger"...they have a standardization within their lines for size.
This is called an acrostic. It is not an anagram, but it is similar. In this case you have an acrostic used as a mnemonic devise to help remember the names of the eight..., er..., nine... planets. Maybe you could turn nine pizzas into: nan, the delicious Indian bread;
napoleons, the really delicious pastry;
nougat, the candy; unless you feel strongly invested in the planethood of Pluto.
Critical mass of this fissionable isotope can blast you to the outer limits of the solar system?
Uranium-235 is a fissionable isotope that can achieve critical mass under the right conditions, leading to a nuclear explosion. This explosion can release a massive amount of energy, potentially causing devastating destruction and radiation. The force generated by such an explosion could indeed be powerful enough to propel material to the outer limits of the solar system.
What is the 2nd planet from the sun?
The 2nd planet from the sun is Venus. It is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to similarities in size and composition. Venus is known for its thick and toxic atmosphere, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.
The Solar System[a] consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets, their moons, and other non-stellar objects.[b] It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets,Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets, called the gas giants, are substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter andSaturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed largely of substances with relatively high melting points (compared with hydrogen and helium), called ices, such as water, ammonia and methane, and are often referred to separately as "ice giants". All planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic plane.
The solar system could be described the following way.
Our solar system consists of the Sun at it's center. All of the planets in the solar system orbit around the sun.
There are 4 inner planets listed in order of closest to furthest from the sun:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
There are 4 outer planets listed in order of closest to furthest from the sun:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
The inner and outer planets are separated by a ring of asteroids known as "The Asteroid Belt"
There are also several Kuiper Belt objects beyond Neptune.
How far is Uranus from the sun in miles?
Uranus, like all planets, follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun. It's mean distance from the Sun is 1,787 million miles(1.78748551 × 109 miles).
When it is at Perihelion (closest to the Sun), it is 1,708 million miles. At aphelion (furthest from the Sun), it is 1,867 million miles.
Where are comets in the solar system?
From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.
The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.
Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.
