The nearest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri and if we traveled at the speed of light we would get there after<u> 4.25 years. </u>

<h3>How long would it take to reach Proxima Centauri?</h3>

Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to our solar system and it is located around 40,208,000,000,000 km away.

If we were to travel to it at the speed of light, we would get there in:

= Distance to Proxima Centauri / Light travelling distance per year

= 40,208,000,000,000 / 9,460,730,474,334 km/ year

= 4.25 years

What factors account for the similarities and differences between the subdivisions in tropical climate zones

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Altitude, proximity to the ocean, precipitation.

Explanation:

Tropical climates can be largely divided into three categories that are monsoon, savanna, and rainforest.

The primary difference between these climates that are warm year round is the precipitation. Rain forest climates are the rainiest. Tropical monsoon climates like those found in parts of Southeast Asia experience a distinct change in wind direction that brings heavy rains for part of the year followed y a short dry season. Tropical savanna climates tend to be found on the fringes of the Tropics and also have very well-defined dry seasons.

Climates found at tropical latitudes that are not hot but rather temperate climates are exclusively a result of latitude. Because of this it is even possible to find glaciers in the Tropics.

Hypothesis is referred to as an assumption or wild guess that needs to be tested to arrive at a scientifically established theory,

Here, Jill proposes a hypothesis which states that igneous rocks produced by volcanoes constitute some kind of chemical that could be used by scientists to estimate the origin of the rocks.

This hypothesis can be tested only by collecting the rock samples and testing them to arrive at a scientifically proven fact.
