Relate differentiation to Saturn's excess internal heat
What will be an ideal response?
Saturn's atmosphere has conspicuously less helium than Jupiter's, so it appears the heavier helium is differentiating downward toward the core, and this separation is a source of the gravitational heating.

A) two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus that has exactly the same mass as the original nucleus B) a heavy nucleus breaks apart into a number of smaller nuclei whose combined mass is less than the original nucleus C) two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus whose combined mass is slightly less than the original nucleus D) two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus whose combined mass is slightly greater than the original nucleus
Planck's constant is about 7 × 10-34, in metric units. Suppose that Planck's constant were larger than it is actually is. Which of the following would then occur?
A) Individual photons would have larger energies, making it easier to observe individual photons. B) Individual photons would have larger wavelengths, making it easier to observe individual photons. C) Individual photons would move faster, even though the overall wave speed of electromagnetic radiation would not change. D) Individual photons would have shorter wavelengths, making it harder to observe individual photons. E) Individual photons would have smaller energies, making it harder to observe individual photons.
