Question

(b) part b
which of these is evidence that supports the answer to part a?
a figure 2 shows multiple orbits and the effects of the rock cycle in
each orbit.

b figure 2 shows the orbits of planets and how they orbit in similar
and predictable ways.

c figure 2 shows the multiple orbits of the planets and the steps to
the fusion reaction inside the sun.

d figure 2 shows the orbits of the planets and how our galaxy is
slowly moving as the universe expands.

Explanation:

To determine the correct evidence, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The rock cycle is unrelated to planetary orbits, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Planetary orbits being similar and predictable is relevant to concepts like the solar system's order, which would support an answer about planetary motion or solar system structure (likely from Part A).
• Option C: Fusion reaction steps in the sun are not related to showing planetary orbits as evidence for a solar - system - related answer.
• Option D: The galaxy's movement due to universe expansion is not related to planetary orbits as evidence for a solar - system - focused answer.

Answer:

B. Figure 2 shows the orbits of planets and how they orbit in similar and predictable ways.
