Homogeneous?arrow_forwardWhy are light-years more convenient than miles, kilometers, or AU for measuring the distances to stars and galaxies?arrow_forwardDo the previous problem again, this time using the information that the Sun is 150,000,000 km away. You will get a very large number of km as your answer. To get a better feeling for how the distances compare, try calculating the time it takes light at a speed of 299,338 km/s to travel from the Sun to Earth and from Alpha Centauri to Earth. For Alpha Centauri, figure out how long the trip will take in years as well as in seconds.arrow_forward
- How Do We Know? Why is it important that a theory make testable predictions?arrow_forwardA light-year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year (at speed of 2.998 ×× 108 m/sm/s ). An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from the Sun to Earth, 1.50 ×× 108 km. 1 year = 3.156 ×× 107 s. How many meters are there in 1.70 ly? Express your answer using three significant figures. Express in scientific notation! 1.70 ly = _________________m How many AU are there in 1.70 ly light-year?
