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].

How are the stratosphere and the mesosphere similar?​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. It extends upward to a height of about 85 km (53 miles) above our planet. Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere. Unlike the stratosphere, temperatures once again grow colder as you rise up through the mesosphere.
