Answer:

Rank of the stars from shortest to longest distances:

Barnard's Star (M4)

61 Cygnia A (K5)

Alpha Centauri A (G2)

Sirius (A1)

Spica (B1)

Explanation:

The habitable zone, also known as the circumstellar habitable zone, is the range of distances from a star where it is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of surrounding planets.

The location of a star’s habitable zone is dependent upon its luminosity, which is the amount of light emitted by an object in a unit of time, because a star’s luminosity increases with time; and also the star's mass.

The inverse square law of light brightness can be used to determine the extent of the habitable zones for different luminosity stars with the formula:

star boundary = Sun boundary × squareroot[(star luminosity)/(Sun luminosity].

Spreading centers have ________ earthquakes, while trenches have ________ earthquakes.
ZanzabumX [31]

Spreading centers have shallow earthquakes, while trenches have deep earthquakes.

  • Earthquake is a term used to describe both sudden slip on a fault, and the resulting ground shaking and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip, or by volcanic or magmatic activity, or other sudden stress changes in the earth
  • simply An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
  • mainly Shallow earthquakes are between 0 and 70 km deep and are mainly associated with  mid-ocean ridges, with mountain ranges in the interior of the continents of Europe and Asia, and with the mountains and ocean trenches that surround the Pacific Ocean.
  • The immediate cause of most shallow earthquakes is the sudden release of stress along a fault rupture (crack) in the earth's crust.

If you wanted to determine the.temperature of a star whichmeasurement would you make
Tju [1.3M]

Red dwarf stars have a surface temperature of less than 3,500 Kelvin, and this is why they appear red to our eyes. Our own Sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star. It has a surface temperature of about 5,800 Kelvin. Because of this temperature, the bulk of the light we see streaming from the Sun is yellow/white
