<u>ANSWER:</u>

The "light from a star" that is "8 light years" takes 8 Earth years to reach "Earth".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Light travels at an "incredible speed" of "300,000 kilometers per second".
  • The distance between any two objects that are far spread in the universe is measured in either speed of light or astronomical unit (AU).
  • If the distance of the star is "8 light years" away from our "planet", and divide it with the value of speed of light you get 8 earth years.

How stable is the quantity and quality of freshwater supplies in the United States?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The United States has a good amount of freshwater supply over most of the territory, because the American territory is ripe with lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.

The quality of these water sources varies from area to area, and many water bodies have been deeply polluted by human activity. However, the United States is a developed country with generally good  water treatment facilities.

Notwithstanding, the United States faces two important challenges: one is the growing population of the country, which will put more pressure on freshwater sources in the future. The other one is that a few areas of the country are devoid of water supply sources, and they are among the fastest growing regions of the U.S (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico). This poises a great challenge for U.S. authorities in the near future.
