A scientific theory is based on

A. Data collected over time
B. A general claim by a scientist
C. The best quess of a scientist
D. An idea that can only be proven true

The earth remains in orbit around the sun due to the force of gravity. how does the force of gravity exerted by the sun on the earth compare to the force of gravity exerted by the earth on the sun?

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
