Explain why Jupiter appears brighter in the night sky than mercury despite Jupiter great distance from earth

Mercury looks so bright because it's fairly close to Earth and to the Sun. So it receives a lot of sunlight, and it reflects a good amount of it in our direction. Jupiter looks so bright because of its huge size, and because the clouds that top its atmosphere reflect more than half of the sunlight that strikes them.

Explanation:

in situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications, including clinical cytogenetics, gene mapping, tumor biology and studies of chromosome evolution.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
