Answer:

The diameter of the Milky Way is 3,503,974,249,104 km times larger than the diameter of Saturn's rings.

Explanation:

1 light year is the distance light can travel in one year. One light year is equal to exactly to 9,460,730,472,580.8 km.

Therefore the diameter of the milky way in distance is 9,460,730,472,580.8 x 10^{5}km while the diameter of Saturn rings are about 270,000km.

Comparing both diameters

\frac{9,460,730,472,580.8 * 10^{5}}{27*10^{4} }

= 350397424910.4 * 10^{1}

= 3,503,974,249,104 km

Approximately what percentage of energy in the u.s is provided by renewable energy resources A.5% B.9% C.15% D.25%
Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is - B. 9%.

The United States, even though are one of the biggest investors in the development of usage of renewable energy, are still not very willing to use them as much and are mostly sticking to the nonrenewable energy resources. This is mainly due to the economic factor, and the United States are not a country that accepts any downfall in its economy, especially not if it doesn't have to. This also causes a lot of controversy because it is damaging the environment, and while lots of developed countries are focusing on the usage of the renewable energy resources, the United States refuse to do so even though they are one of the two biggest polluters in the world.
