What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
stratus |
|
cirrus |
|

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
group |
|
period |
|
family |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
cerebellum |
|
medulla |
|
cerebrum |

meteorites |
|
meteors |
|
meteoroids |
|
shooting stars |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
