Explanation

• Our Solar System is located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
• It including the Sun and eight planets.
• It consists of about 100–400 billion stars along with large amounts of gas and cosmic dust.

Additional information:

• The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.
• The nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way is Andromeda, located about 2.5 million light-years away.

Explanation

• The SI unit of electrical resistance is Ohm (Ω).
• It measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
• Higher resistance means less current flows.
• It is defined by V = IR (Ohm’s Law).
• 1 Ohm = 1 Volt per Ampere.

Explanation

• Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time.
• The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz).
• 1 Hz = 1 cycle or vibration per second
• Unit: Hz = s⁻¹ (per second)
• Named after physicist Heinrich Hertz
• Used for waves, oscillations, sound, and electromagnetic radiation
• Derivations from other quantities: f = 1 / T
• Dimension T^−1

Explanation

• The majority of nutrient absorption in the digestive system occurs in the small intestine,
• Where the final stages of digestion take place.
• This organ's structure, featuring villi and microvilli, creates a large surface area optimized for absorbing digested nutrients and most water into the bloodstream.

• Only about 2.5% or 0.025 (3%) of the water on Earth is freshwater, which is vital for human consumption, agriculture, and ecosystem health.
• The remaining 97.5% (97%) is saltwater, found in oceans, seas, and salt lakes.

Explanation

• A voltmeter measures potential difference (voltage) between two points in a circuit.
• To do this correctly, it must be connected in parallel with the component across which the voltage is to be measured.

Explanation

• Freshwater is water that contains a very low amount of salt, typically less than 1% salinity.
• Examples of freshwater sources include rivers, lakes, streams, and underground aquifers.

Explanation

• The modern periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number.
• The atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.
• Elements with similar chemical properties are placed in the same group (vertical column).
• The modern periodic law was established by Henry Moseley.

Explanation

• A rainbow forms when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through water droplets in the atmosphere.
• Refraction bends the light, while dispersion separates it into seven colors, creating a rainbow.
