how big is the sun on a 1 to 10 billion scale? How big is the earth in the same scale? Covert answers to cm. Assume Sun’s radius
galben [10]

Answer:

sun is bigger than earth is  13.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of sun = 700,000 km

radius of earth = 6500 km

to find out

how big is the sun

solution

we know here

scale 1 to 10 billion is

scale = \frac{1}{10*10^9}

so here

we know that scaled diameter = actual diameter × scale   .................1

so for earth

scaled diameter of earth = 2 × 6500   × \frac{1}{10*10^9}

scaled diameter of earth = 1.3 × 10^{-6}

and

scaled diameter of sun = 2 × 700,000  × \frac{1}{10*10^9}

scaled diameter of sun =  1.4 × 10^{-4}

so

sun is bigger than earth is 1.4 × 10^{-4}  - 1.3 × 10^{-6}

sun is bigger than earth is 0.000139 = 13.9 cm

Naily [24]

Answer: C.Establishment of restrictive quality standards requiring foreign firms to make expensive modifications to their products before they could be exported to Norvada

Explanation: Protectionist policies shield the domestic market from competition with foreign firms. This is done by levying tariffs on imported goods, setting quotas or by supporting the firms in the domestic market with subsidies to make their goods more competitive.

A tariff is a form of tax levied on imported goods while a Non-tariff barrier is any policy that makes use of other controls besides levies. An example of a Non-tariff barrier is a severe quality requirement for foreign products to be imported into Norvada.
