Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.

Pluto would be placed 39.74 feet far from the Sun.

Astronomers use the gap between Earth and the sun, which is ninety-three million miles, as a new unit of measure called the Astronomical Unit.

Map scale refers to the connection (or ratio) between the space on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:one hundred thousand scale map, 1cm at the map equals 1km on the ground.

The distance between the earth and solar, a = around 150 million km, is defined as one Astronomical Unit (AU). The radius of the solar, the solar is around 700,000 km.

In your own words, answer the following 3 questions about an object experiencing red shift? 1. Describe the motion of an object
german

1.  When an object is moving away from us, the light from the object is known as redshift, and when an object is moving towards us, the light from the object is known as blueshift.

2.  A wavelength increases in size, and its frequency, and energy decrease.

3.  The frequency of a wave increases, and its wavelength decreases.

Redshift is an important term for astronomers. The term can be taken literally. The wavelengths of light are stretched and perceived as shifting toward the red portion of the spectrum. The same thing happens to sound waves when the source moves relative to the observer.

As the wave frequency decreases, the wavelength increases as long as the wave velocity remains constant. If the wave speed stays the same as the frequency decreases, it means that fewer wave peaks or troughs pass through a given point in a given time period. The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency. Frequency and energy decrease with increasing wavelength.

The center of gravity is defined as: a. The part of the skeleton composed of the bones of the vertebral column, ribs, and skull
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

d. Imaginary point through which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object

Explanation:

Gravity acting on all particle points of the object, no matter how small they are. As a combination, the center of gravity would denote a single point which  substitutes for all the gravity forces on the object.
