Which varies more seasonally, incoming short-wave (solar) radiation or outgoing long-wave (terrestrial) radiation? Which varies
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Yes, cloud cover is an important factor influencing the solar radiation

Explanation:

  • <u>Length of the day and the angle of the sunshine </u>and place located on the sphere of the earth are also considered vital factors in the infrared radiation that reaches the ground and is transferred into space from the same processes.
  • There exists a seasonal variation in the incoming and outgoing of long and shortwave energy of the sun which is related by the <u>earth rotation as a black body at the night. </u>
  • The latitude which is located close to the equator is getting most of the sun rays and have a longer amount of insolation reaching the ground.  
  • Thus the places located on the poles have a lower angle of incidence of rays hence there is less radiation and less amount of energy is generated due to the <u>snow has a very high albedo than the tropics</u>.
  • To predict the weather analysis of clouds over the area needs to be taken care o as these influence the winds and temperature patterns. Like the formation of high and low-pressure areas over the lands.

What visual evidence do scientists have to support the fact that Jupiter is the fastest-rotating planet in the solar system?
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Jupiter is the fastest-rotating planet in our solar system, it only takes at about 10 hours to complete its one rotation. The evidences for the fastest motion of Jupiter is it's gravity. Jupiter is the vacuum cleaner of planets or is having the highest gravity. The more the rotation the more the gravity. That's why Jupiter is having the highest rotational speed as it has the highest gravity.

Due to this we find the Jupiter is having the highest natural satellites. Also the asteroid belt is present between the Mars and Jupiter.

Below is information relating atmospheric pressure to altitude relative to sea level: The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 7
kogti [31]

Answer:

New Orleans, LA (2 m below sea level)

Explanation:

In this examples, we can see that the places with the highest altitude (meters above sea level) are also the places with the lowest atmospheric pressure. Therefore, we can conclude that the opposite is true too. The places with the lowest altitude are the ones with the highest atmospheric pressure. The place with the lowest altitude is New Orleans, as it is located 2 m below sea level.
