Distance between earth and the sun is 150 million kilometers. light travels 300 million meters. how long does it take for the light to reach earth from the sun?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: It takes about 500 seconds for light to reach earth from the Sun which is also 8minutes 20 seconds

Explanation: The earth orbits around the sun at a distance of 150 million kilometres. Sunlight travels at the speed of light which is 300,000 kilometres per second.

Firstly, convert 300 million metres to kilometre; 1000 metres = 1 kilometre

Therefore, 300,000,000 metres= 300,000,000/1000= 300,000 kilometers. This gives us the speed of light which is 300,000 kilometers per second

To get the time it takes for sunlight to get to the earth, divide 150,000,000 by 300,000.

Since Time = distance/speed.

150,000,000/300,000= 500seconds

Answers

Answer:

a. impacts

Explanation:

  The moon is so bombarded by space rocks that its surface changes completely every 81,000 years, according to a study released from NASA data.

  These jolts - which affect the two inches of the almost completely detached moon dust - occur almost 100 times more often than previously thought, scientists said.

  The study also estimates that asteroids and comets that collide with Earth's natural satellite generate, on average, 180 new craters at least 10 meters in diameter each year.

   The findings, published in the British science journal Nature, are from before-and-after photos taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been mapping the moon since 2009.

   By comparing images of the same area at regular intervals, a team of scientists led by Emerson Speyerer of Arizona State University in Tempe were able to record the number of new craters and extrapolate this figure to the entire lunar surface.

  "We detected 222 new impact craters and found 33% more craters at least 10 meters in diameter" than predicted in previous models, the scientists concluded.

  The researchers also discovered thousands of subtle surface disturbances, which they described as "scars" of minor and minor impacts that, after thousands of years, shook the moon's surface layer without producing craters.

Answers

Yes, this is true!

In the early times of the solar system, when the planets were still being formed there were many impacts. For example, it is thought that the mood is a result of such an impact: another celestial body hit Earth and part of it remains as today's moon. Such impacts are no longer typical.
