(a) solute = substance (solid or liquid) in lesser amount, which will [dis]solve into the solvent
(b) solvent = substance (liquid) in larger amount, which [dis]solves the solvent
it's dissolvability is called "solvency"
water is known as the universal solvent because it is abundant on Earth and has a high solvency
(c) solution = the combination of solvent + solute
depending on the saturation of solute within solvent, the solution may appear clear, like the solvent
**think of warm sugar-water (solution), when all the sugar (solute) dissolves into the water (solvent), the solute seems to have disappeared
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Because between the earth and sun is empty space (vacuum) transfer of heat from the sun to earth can only occur through radiation- because convection and conduction require a medium. The is the same process that warms your hands when you place them beside a fire. When you put your hands above the fire, they are warmed through convection.
D through a microscope!

Polystyrene is a good insulator as it has small air bubbles trapped inside of it. This means heat energy cannot flow through them therefore it is an effective material for keeping honeybees warm in the winter. Hope this helps :)
