According to the 2004 Working Group of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), Earth experiences a flattening of 0.0033528 at the poles. This flattening is due to Earth’s rotational velocity – a rapid 1,674.4 km/h (1,040.4 mph) – which causes the planet to bulge at the equator.
Equatorial vs Polar Diameter:
Because of this, the diameter of the Earth at the equator is about 43 kilometers (27 mi) larger than the pole-to-pole diameter. As a result, the latest measurements indicate that the Earth has an equatorial diameter of 12,756 km (7926 mi), and a polar diameter of 12713.6 km (7899.86 mi).
In short, objects located along the equator are about 21 km further away from the center of the Earth (geocenter) than objects located at the poles. Naturally, there are some deviations in the local topography where objects located away from the equator are closer or father away from the center of the Earth than others in the same region.

What observation did this geocentric model of the solar system help to explain?
orbit speed
the phases of Venus
retrograde motion
the rising of the Sun
Answer:
In the geocentric model of the solar system, the Earth is viewed as the focal point or the centre of the close planetary system.
Explanation:
The celestial bodies like the moon, planets, sun, stars all rotate and revolve around the Earth (which remains still) with uniform circular movement.
The geocentric model uses an arrangement of epicycles to clarify retrograde movement, whereby the planets moved around little circular ways that thus moved around bigger circles around the Earth. Heliocentric model proposes that the universe rotates around the Sun.
The observation did this geocentric model of the solar system helps to explain is retrograde motion which entails that the focal point is situated on the planet named Earth. Thus the correct option is C.
What is the geocentric model?The backward motion of the planets around smaller different directions that traveled around larger circular paths around the Earth was explained by the geocentric model using an arrangement of circular orbits.
The geocentric concept, which places Earth at the center of the universe, is no longer accepted in astronomy. The universe is said to revolve around the Sun according to the heliocentric concept.
According to Penn State University, the geocentric model places the Earth's moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in the sequence of the solar system.
Therefore, option C is appropriate.

Dr. Fletcher is interested in whether joining a fraternity/sorority causes people to become more concerned about their attractiveness and appearance. He recruits a group of 55 freshmen (25 males, 30 females) who are planning to go through fraternity/sorority recruitment on his campus. After they join, he gives them a measure of attractiveness concern/appearance concern (the Body Concern Scale). Suppose Dr. Fletcher was concerned that students who choose to join fraternities/sororities are more concerned with their appearance overall. How could he test whether this type of selection threat exists?
A) Collect appearance concerns at more time points throughout the year from his subjects.
B) Compare baseline levels of appearance concerns in fraternity/sorority students versus the average college student.
C) Check that none of his participants had exceptionally high levels of appearance concerns at the beginning of his study.
D) Examine whether any events occurred on campus that year that may influence appearance concerns for all students.
Answer:
The answer is "Option b".
