Answer:

Since space is so vast AUs are not always enough to describe the distance between two places. One AU is only about 93 million miles, while some celestial bodies are billions of trillions of miles away. Light years allow scientists to talk about distance without using absurdly large numbers.

Answer:

When leaving the solar system and looking at other star systems, the AU is too small for scientists needs. So they created a LARGER unit of measurement. Scientists measure a light-year as the distance light can travel in one year. The next closest star to Earth (after the Sun) is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.34 light-years away.

In an investigation of the cycling of environmental gases, a  student placed water and bromthymol blue in each of four test  tubes as shown in the diagrams below. No additional items were  placed in tube 1, a snail was placed in tube 2, an aquatic plant  (elodea) was placed in tube 3, and both a snail and an elodea  were placed in tube 4.
