What are the types of space objects ?
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) classifies objects in the Solar system into 3 categories : 1. Planet : a celestial body orbiting the Sun, with enough mass to assume a (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium shape, and that has "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit, 2. Dwarf planet : a celestial body orbiting the Sun, with enough mass to assume a (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium shape, but that has not "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit and is not a satellite, 3. Small Solar System Bodies : all other objects orbiting the sun that are not satellites. Small Solar System Bodies of the Solar system include : - Moons : celestial bodies that orbit a planet or a dwarf planet, - Asteroids : rocky non-spherical left-over objects from the early formation of the Solar system. They travel around the sun and most of them are located within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, - Comets : icy bodies that can also contain minerals, rocks and dust left over from the formation of the solar system. They travel around the sun and can be found mostly beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt, as well as far beyond Pluto in the Oort cloud, - Meteoroids : objects in space that often come from other larger bodies such as comets, asteroids or even moons and planets. Meteoroids can be rocky, others can be metallic, or combinations of both. Their sizes range from dust grains to small asteroids.

How comes a free-diver does not get crushed by the pressure when diving?
Every 10 meters under water, the pressure increases by 1 bar, which is approximately one standard atmosphere unit. This means for example at 50 meters deep, the pressure the diver is receiving is six times higher than at the surface. For most of the body, composed of tissues and fluids, this is not a problem as they are incompressible. However, the air contained in the lungs being pressurised will reduce in volume inversely proportionally to the pressure. If the individual dives with a tank, he will be able to inflate his lungs, but if the diver is free-diving, the volume of air is limited (being the one taken at the surface). In our previous example, the volume contained in the lungs would be divided by 6, which is in principle below their residual volume. This means lungs will not be able to deform themselves anymore, and a depression will appear in the thorax of the free-diver hence risking the lungs to collapse. The latter would though not happen, as the depression created in the lungs from not being able to get deformed anymore will generate an influx of blood that strengthen the lungs structure, protecting them from being damaged.

### Instruction: How comes a free-diver does not get crushed by the pressure when diving? ### Context: ### Answer: Every 10 meters under water, the pressure increases by 1 bar, which is approximately one standard atmosphere unit. This means for example at 50 meters deep, the pressure the diver is receiving is six times higher than at the surface. For most of the body, composed of tissues and fluids, this is not a problem as they are incompressible. However, the air contained in the lungs being pressurised will reduce in volume inversely proportionally to the pressure.

Why is my electrical outlet not working?
Assuming that outlet has been working fine and there were not recent catastrophic events or construction that has taken place, you likely need to reset the circuit. First check to see if there is an ongoing regional power outage. An easy way to check for this is to see if the power is working elsewhere in your building or neighboring buildings. If the outage is localized to a portion of your building, you may want to check the following: If the outlet is a GFCI, you will need to find the main outlet in the circuit and push the reset button on it. GFCI (or GFI) outlets are common in locations where water is present, for example in kitchens and bathrooms. If the outlet is not a GFCI outlet or if resetting the GFCI outlet had no effect, locate the circuit breaker for your building and check if any of the circuits have been tripped. You can identify a tripped circuit when you open the panel by looking for the one of the circuits in the panel that is not in the same orientation as the others. Fix it by flipping the switch to match the others.

What is the depth of focus of a camera?
depth of focus is the range of distances that will be in focus in a picture taken by the camera with specific settings. Depending on the settings of the camera, the depth of focus can be very small, ranging in millimeters or centimeters to very large - hundreds of meters. The most important setting that will determine the depth of focus is the aperture used in the lens when the picture is taken. The aperture is how widely open the lens is and how much light is allowed to pass through it. A low f-stop or big aperture will minimize the depth of field, while a high f-stop or small aperture will maximize it. Depth of field is an element that photographers use in composition to blur or sharpen elements of the photograph, thus emphasizing or de-emphasizing certain aspects.

Wthat is the difference between Speed and Velocity ?
Speed denotes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity describes both how fast and in which direction the object is moving. If a car is said to travel at 60 miles per hour, its speed has been specified. However, if the car is said to move at 60 miles per hour to the north, its velocity has now been specified. The big difference can be discerned when considering movement around a circle. When something moves in a circular path and returns to its starting point, its average velocity is zero, but its average speed is found by dividing the circumference of the circle by the time taken to move around the circle. This is because the average velocity is calculated by considering only the displacement between the starting and end points, whereas the average speed considers only the total distance travelled.

Alligators and crocodiles have many similarities, including both having short legs, powerful tails, and long snouts, but there are also a number of ways to tell them apart. First, they are usually found in different locations, with alligators preferring freshwater areas and crocodiles being found in saltwater habitats. Second, their snouts are shaped differently, with alligators having a broad, U-shaped snout, where the snout of crocodiles is more narrow and V-shaped. You can often see some of the bottom teeth on a crocodile, even when its mouth is shut, but not on an alligator. Finally, alligators usually appear to be more black or dark gray, with crocodiles appearing more tan or olive.

It requires no down payment and is an amazing option for anyone who is eligible. 3. FHA Loan: A mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. First time home buyers find these loans very attractive due to the small down payment requirements of just 3.5% and the flexible credit requirements. Additionally there are children products to this loan vehicle including the FHA 203k loan which can help those purchasing distressed properties by funding the renovations, within certain predetermined guidelines. 4. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): With this product, your interest rate varies over time depending on market and economic conditions. These seem attractive initially as they typically start with lower rates than fixed-rate mortgages but can increase over time. 5. Fixed-Rate Mortgages: This interest rate is locked in at the start of the loan and starts the same throughout the entire term. 7. USDA Loan: Guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and eligible to suburban and rural homebuyers. This loan product also doesn't require down payment and has lower mortgage insurance requirements than an FHA loan While these are the most common loan types, other options tend to appear from time to time. It is important to do your research and pick the product that best suits your individual needs and long-term financial goals. To help better understand these options many aspiring buyers reach out to local loan providers, real estate agents, and brokers.

Is Pluto a planet ?
Pluto's status is the subject of extensive debate among planetary scientists. Upon its discovery, Pluto was initially classified as the ninth planet of the Solar system. However in 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) issued a definition for planets in the Solar system that resulted in the reclassification of Pluto as a "dwarf planet". According to this definition, a planet is any celestial body that : - orbits the Sun, - has enough mass to assume a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, - cleared away any other similarly-sized objects near its orbit around the Sun. The last criteria hasn't been met by Pluto.
