25) Assuming that the low-pressure system follows a normal storm track, which weather station is probably located in the path of the approaching center of the low? A) A. B) C. C) E. D) B. 26) The primary cause of winds is the A) uniform density of the atmosphere B) friction between the atmosphere and the lithosphere C) unequal heating of the Earth's atmosphere
The actual temperature in space is about 3Â°K (-270Â°C or three degrees Celsius above Absolute Zero). There are still molecules in space, just very few of them, and this is their temperature. Absolute zero is a theoretical temperature where the thermal kinetic energy of the molecules in a body goes to zero.
Interstellar space is very cold. The density of interstellar matter is extremely low. It averages roughly 10 6 atoms per cubic meter--just 1 atom per cubic centimeter--but densities as great as 10 9 atoms/m 3 (1000 atoms/cm 3) and as small as 10 4 atoms/m 3 have been found.
