Question

Which of the following statements best explains how the photopolarimeter has made outer space exploration easier?

It measures the charged particles of solar winds.
It sends cosmic rays to the sun and other planets.
It can send data to Earth using high frequency antenna.
It is able to determine the properties and composition of planets.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

It is able to determine properties of planets and compositions

Answer 2

Answer: D

The Photopolarimeter is used to determine the physical properties of particulate matter and composition of the surfaces of the satellites of planets specifically the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and the Rings of Saturn by measuring the intensity and linear polarization of scattered sunlight at eight wavelengths in the 2350-7500A region of the spectrum.
In addition, the photopolarimeter is a telescope with filters and polarization analyzers that provide data on the texture and structure of planets, which made outer space exploration more convenient..
