If you start at the equator and travel to 10 degrees north approx. how many kilometers (or miles) north of the equator will you be? Take the circumference of earth to be 40,000 kilometers (24,900) miles).
- How far (in km) is 3.5 lightyears(ly) – the distance traveled by light in one Earth year? - How much is this same value in parsecs and (C) in astronomical units (AU)? Use 299,732 km/s for the speed of light (c) and 1 year = 365 days. Show your solution and write your answer in both regular notation and scientific notation.
The measured distance on the ground between two points is 6.85 km. If the corresponding distance between the same points on the map is 13.70 m, the scale of the map is O 1:50000 O 1:500000 O 1:5000 O 1:50 O 1:500
