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 is latitude measured?
NeX [460]

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels. Your latitude can be calculated by measuring the angle of the sun.
