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?

You observe a tiny structure under a microscope.what question would ask and then investigate to determine whether the structure
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The question to be asked an investigated when observing a structure under the microscope to determine whether it is living is if it has a nucleus if eukaryote or nucleoid if prokaryote.

Explanation:

The major organelle that must be present in all living cells is the nucleus or nucleoid and the protoplasm. The observation of the cell under the microscope will show the subcellular entity, nucleus/nucleoid, more pronounced than other organelles in the cell. The nucleus house the necessary information for the maintenance and reproduction, which is mainly the genetic information that dictates the translational protein products that are needed to build another aspect of the cells. Therefore, when such a tiny structure is placed under the light microscope under the view of oil immersion, the nucleus of the cell should be visible if it is a living structure.
