Question

The table below compares the distances of two astronomical bodies from Earth. Astronomical Distances Astronomical Body Distance from Earth Sun 149 million kilometers A star 4.4 light years Based on the table, which of the following statements is true? A shuttle from Earth would take more time to reach the sun than to reach the star. A shuttle from Earth would take the same time to reach the sun and the star. Earth is farther away from the sun than from the star. Earth is closer to the sun than to the star.

Answer 1

It would be Earth is closer to the sun than to the star. Because a light year is the light travels in one Julian year which is 365 days which is 9.5 trillion kilometers and 4.4 light years is a lot beyond than 149 million kilometers of the Earth to Sun distance that even one light year is more than that.
