Answer:

There are approximately 66666 astronimic units in a light year

Explanation:

This is a simple exercise of ratios.

Since the astronomic unit is 1.5e8 km and the light year is 10^13 km (the question had an error) we can write:

1 = \frac{x * AU}{1 LY}

So:

x = \frac{1 LY}{1 AU} = \frac{1e13 km}{1.5e8 km} = 666666

Why is Pompeii referred to as the "lost city?
ollegr [7]

The correct answer is - A.) It was hidden under 60 feet of ash for 1700 years.

The city of Pompeii was located on the side of the Vesuvius volcano in Italy. It was not a big or very important city at the time, but it became famous much latter in the future.

After an eruption from Vesuvius, the city and its inhabitants, were all buried under 60 feet of ash. That was a tragic moment in the history, but it is a ''gold mine'' for the archaeologists as everything remained perfectly well preserved, and that was of great help in reconstructing the life of the people in that period of time.

Compare and Contrast How would a road map and a topographic map of the same area differ? What information would each provide?
a_sh-v [17]
A road map shows you the routes you can take from point A to point B. A topographic map shows altitude by contour lines. So the main difference is directions vs altitude.
