Answer is: <span>Distance between the sun and Earth

Explanation:
</span><span>Distance between Earth and Saturn is not correct answer because this distance varies greatly. When comparing distance we need some distance that is pretty much the same all the times. This is why distance between the sun and Earth is chosen to meassure distances in solar system.
Answers "</span>Speed of rotation of Saturn" and "<span>Speed of rotation of Earth" are not correct because they represent speed which can not measure distance.</span>

Answer:

Distance between earth and sun.

Explanation:

The distance between earth and sun is used to compare the distance between the objects in our solar system. It is because the distance between earth and sun is called as one Astronomical unit.

1 Astronomical unit (AU) is equal to 149,597,870.7 Km.

It is the mean distance between earth and sun.

The time taken by light to cover 1 Astronomical Unit is 499 seconds.

This is a big unit of distance.

An object 5.Ocm in the length is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of convex mirror
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Position = \frac{60}{7}\ cm behind the mirror

Nature = Virtual and Erect

Size = \frac{15}{7}\ cm : Diminished

Explanation:

Sign convention-Distance measured to the left of pole is negative and to the right of pole is positive.

Object distance = u = -20 cm

Focal length = f = Radius of curvature/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm

We have to use mirror formula to find image distance.

\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{7}{60}\\v=\frac{60}{7}\ cm

Since the image distance is positive, it is formed behind the mirror or a virtual image is formed.

Magnification = =\frac{h_{image}}{h_{object}}=-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{60}{7\times20}=\frac{3}{7}

Height of the object = 5 cm

Height of the image = 5\times\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\ cm

Since the height of the image is positive and less than the size of object,it is erect and diminished.

When does radioactive decay occur
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

C.when the nucleus decays

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, the outermost electrons of atoms are re-arranged somehow without the involvement of the nuclei of the participating atoms of the elements.

Nuclear reactions causes changes within the atomic nucleus. For every atomic nucleus, a specific neutron/proton ratio ensures stability. When the stability ratio differs an atom becomes unstable and splits into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter. This is what radioactivity entails.
