<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.

To kill the white pine blister, the forestry department decided to apply pesticide to the trees. They must directly apply the se
Stels [109]

The Forestry Department is using a <u>chemical</u> control method. This involves using a <u>foliar spray </u>method, in which department personnel will spray pesticide directly on the trees’ leaves.

Explanation:

The chemical control method of pesticide control involves spraying chemical pesticides directly on leaves, shoots or roots of the plants. These chemicals are toxic to the pests only and the pests get retracted from the plants because of the pesticides applied.

A selective pesticide application is done to limit application to a target harmful pest which kills only that and does not harm the other useful or harmless species which thrives on the plants.

White pine blister causes rust of the branches and leaves of the pine trees. Hence, a foliar spray of the pesticide is done to control its spread.
