E S *
The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).
The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years
Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.
To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.
As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.
To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles
A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>
Answer:
1. about 1.5 AU
2. about 5 AU
3. about 8 light-years
4. about 100,000 light-years
5. less than 0.01 AU
Explanation:
a. Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun.
b. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun.
c. The star Sirius is about 8 light-years from the Sun.
d. The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light-years.
e. The distance from Earth to the Moon is less than 0.01 AU.
Note: AU is an acronym for Astronomical Unit and it is a standard unit by astronomers to illustrate the distance between the planetary bodies found in the solar system.
The magnetic field or force seems to be associated with the lineup of electrons withim the magnet
