Answer:

the Earth-Sun distance.

Explanation:

To measure parallax the base line distance that we need to know is the Earth-Sun distance. This distance is called 1 astronomical unit. This distance is 1.496×10^8 Km. So, this base line distance is necessary for the second link parallax.

(LC)Light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the
Sedaia [141]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the set, or that change as the main character’s emotional state changes are all ways that lighting can be used to heighten the drama and suspense in dramatic films.

Lighting plays an important role in film making because it can create scenes that enhance the de drama of the moment or the right mood that the director wants to share. Lighting in the film is an art because the basic principle is that the scene needs to look natural. From that principle, filmmakers and light specialist cand create many kinds of dramatic or jubilation moments if they know how to apply light principles to each scene.

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

Closing Summary Questions: Phases of Matter
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very rapid at room temperature. A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions; even at very low temperatures.

Even with all of these state changes, it is important to remember that the substance stays the same—it is still water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Changing states of matter are only physical changes; the chemical properties of the matter stays the same regardless of its physical state!
