    Why do geologists use Carbon-14 dating to assist them with identifying artifacts? How does the use of Carbon-dating help us to better understand our planet? carbon 14 dating is a radioactive device that determines the age of an old artifact. This helps us to know more about the science and history of our earth.

    To determine the age of a rock, but it mostly works on rocks that are younger than 50,000 years though most rocks of interest for geologists are older. The process is important because geologists can use it to discover the absolute date the Earth was formed.

    Scientists use Carbon-14 dating to assist them with artifacts because Carbon-14 dating can help them determine how old an artifact is, if there is anything once-living inside. This can help scientists better understand the Earth because they can see what life was like when the artifact was created. If the artifact is a fossil, you can see what animals were around at the time, especially if you find other fossils and artifacts dating back to the same time period, whether that is the a few hundred years ago, or a few thousand years.

    Planetary order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Pluto would be the last if you considered it).

    The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. If you consider Pluto a planet, the list is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

    The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There’s also Pluto, sometimes considered the “Ninth Planet,” but it’s a dwarf planet, so it usually doesn’t count as one of the eight planets.
