A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.

Light year is often confused with length of time but it is actually the distance. The distance light travels in one year is called one light year.

we know that , speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

time of a year in seconds = 3.15 x 10⁷ s

distance traveled by light is given as

distance = speed of light x time in year in sec

distance = (3 x 10⁸) x (3.15 x 10⁷)

distance = 9.5 x 10¹⁵ m

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Generally, darker colors dominate so a person with one brown-eyed gene and one blue-eyed gene will have brown eyes. The only way to present blue eyes is to inherit two copies of the blue-eyed gene. However, brown-eyed parents can pass a recessive blue-eyed gene. Therefore, two brown-eyed partners can birth a blue-eyed baby.
