The increasing order of distance from the Sun of Proxima centauri, Supernova 1987A, and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Answer to Problem 2TC
The increasing order of distance from the Sun is Proxima centauri < the center of the Milky Way Galaxy < Supernova
Explanation of Solution
Proxima Centauri is the known closest star from the sun. The approximate distance between the sun and the Proxima Centauri is
The Sun is one of the star among the hundred billion or so stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The center of the Milky Way galaxy lies in the constellation Sagittarius. The approximate distance between the Sun and the center of the Milky Way galaxy is
Supernova
Conclusion:
Therefore, the increasing order of distance from the Sun is Proxima centauri < the center of the Milky Way Galaxy < Supernova
