Arrange the distances between Earth and various celestial objects in order from least to greatest. Use the conversion table to h
Kaylis [27]

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

1 ly = 63000 AU

also we know that

1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km

1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: 3.09 × 10^8 AU

d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km

d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km

now we have

d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}

d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

When melting of a metamorphic rock occurs, it changes into what?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The upper limit of metamorphism occurs at the pressure and temperature of wet partial melting of the rock in question. Once melting begins, the process changes to an igneous process rather than a metamorphic process. During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.
