Question 6 • Earth and Space Science

Scientists use satellites to monitor the Sun for short-term changes, and telescopes to study planetary orbits over centuries. What does this comparison reveal about technological systems?

Answer
A
Some technologies predict events within months or years, while others predict only decades in advance.
B
Some technologies predict events within hours or days, while others predict events centuries in advance.
C
Some technologies predict events within centuries or millennia, while others predict only thousands of years in advance.
D
Some technologies predict events within hours or days, while others predict only weeks in advance.

Explanation

The comparison shows that different technological systems work over very different timescales. Satellites can monitor short-term changes in the Sun, allowing events to be predicted within hours or days, while observations of planetary orbits help scientists make predictions centuries ahead. Therefore, choice B best matches the comparison.
