The time taken to reach the Neptune planet is 4.2 hours

<h3>What is the time taken?</h3>

We can see that the speed of light has the value of 6.7 * 10^8 miles per hour . We also know that the solar system is composed of the sun and the planets. The distance of the between the sun and mercury is 35,000,000 miles while the distance between the sun and Neptune is  2.8 x 10^9 miles.

This implies that the ratio of the distance from neptune to the sun and that of mercury to the sun is;  2.8 x 10^9 miles/3.5 * 10^7 miles hence Neptune is eight times farther from the sun than mercury.

The time taken for light to reach Neptune from the moon is;

Distance = 2.8 x 10^9 miles

Speed = 6.7 * 10^8

Time = 2.8 x 10^9 miles/6.7 * 10^8

= 4.2 hours

Missing parts;

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, with an average distance of 35,000,000

miles.

It takes light about 3 minutes to travel from the Sun to Mercury.

Neptune is the farthest, with an average distance of 2.8 x 10 to the power of 9 miles from the Sun.

How many times farther from the Sun is Neptune than Mercury?

How long does it take light to reach neptune?

Give one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Extrinsic regulatory mechanisms are external and depend on the firing of some factor outside the population itself. Among them are interspecific competition, food and space restrictions, very strong climatic variations, weathering and inharmonious relationships with other populations (parasitism and predatism).

Good examples of interspecific competition appear when rabbits, caves, rats compete for the same plant, or different fish and birds, such as the heron, vie for the same species of smaller fish. This is because these different species keep their populations in the same ecological niche. Competition is often so strong that some species eventually, as one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process is their disappearance or migration to other regions.

In this competition, the presence of adaptations among individuals in the population that promote better food search, speed, vision, and others can make the difference between elimination and survival.
