Answer to Question 1

The inner core is solid nickel and iron, the outer core molten iron and nickel, the mantle dense silicate rocks, the crust less dense rocks, the hydrosphere is water, the troposphere dense air, the stratosphere less dense air, the ozone layer is molecules, the ionosphere ionized gases, the magnetosphere just magnetic fields.

Answer to Question 2

Use the equation above Example 3 in More Precisely 1-2 to complete the calculation. 15 = 15/60/60 degrees = 1/240 degree (about 0.0042 degrees). Then the diameter = distance  angular size / 57.3 degrees = 1.4  109 km  1/240 / 57.3  100,000 km.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
