D.). Radial Method - is the stars, and planets, that orbit around a common center of mass, The star will move towards, and away from earth. Light is shifted, as the star motion changes.

C.). Redshift Method - is described as, how light shifts toward shorter, or longer wavelengths; as objects in space, move closer, or farther away from us. If the star is moving away from us, The light it gets stretched a little, which makes it appear more red than it really is.

B.). Blueshift Method - is the opposite of redshift, its' a decrease in wavelength, due to its' motions towards Earth. If a star is moving closer to us, the light it gives off gets squeezed together, which makes it appear bluer than it actually is.

A.). Triangulation Method - is a method used to determine distances through parallax; The distance equals baseline divides by parallax. It is used to calculate stellar distances by using Earth's orbital diameter, as baseline, the angular displacement of a star is measured.

Therefore, Your answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method.

Hope that helps, (Answer: Letter Choice (A), Triangulation Method is used to obtain a precise measurement of a star's distance from Earth.).

Have a great day!!!!! : )

Answer:

triangulation method

Explanation:

The triangulation method is used in Astronomy to measure distances of planets and nearby stars. To measure distances from distant stars in our galaxy, or other galaxies, we have to resort to indirect methods. For this reason, we can conclude that the triangulation method is the best method among those cited for a scientist to use to obtain an accurate measure of the distance between a star to Earth

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear
Mandarinka [93]
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

Red clothes look red  because they REFLECT the red light, and absorb light of other colors.

What caused magnetic fields? What happens If you keep breaking a magnet in two until you reach a single atom?
mote1985 [20]

magnetic materials will produce magnetic field near it

All magnets are made up of small magnet type atoms which are known as domains

These all atoms will align itself so that they all produce strong magnetic field along the axis

this magnetic field will become more strong as more number of atoms are aligned.

Now if we break the magnet into small piece then the magnetic field strength will start decreasing and at the end when only one atom will remain then the magnetic field strength will reduce to the field of one atom only.
