Best Answer: It depends on the definition that the state has. In Oklahoma, for example, an Independent school district is one that has at least one high school. That means that they can educate, within their district, students from K-12. By contrast, a dependent school district is one that educates K-8, and is dependent on a neighboring independent school district to send their high school age students to. Of course, another state may have a completely different definition. You'll need to provide more info on where you live for a more specific answer.
Wikijunior:Solar System/Venus. Venera 7, the first space probe to land on Venus, was destroyed by the hostile conditions on Venus after only 23 minutes. Almost all of the surface features on Venus are named after women. A day on Venus is equal to 117 days on Earth.
In fact, one day is actually as long as two years on Mercury. It takes Mercury about 88 Earth days to orbit the sun, while Earth takes 365 days. It takes about 176 Earth days for Mercury to rotate on its axis (from sunrise to sunrise), while Earth takes only 24 hours. On Mercury, it is daytime for one year, and night for one year. Considerations. Venus, the planet between Earth and Mercury, also has a day that is longer than its year. Venus has the longest day of any planet in our solar system. One day on Venus lasts for 243 Earth days, while a year lasts about 225 Earth days. Features
