Answer:

Distance to Neptune at the farthest < distance to the star Betelgeuse < distance to the star VY Canis Majoris < distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to work with the same units in order to make the comparison among the given distances. So, let's work with kilometers (km):

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

640 ly \frac{63000 AU}{1 ly} \frac{1.5(10)^{8} km}{1 AU}=6.048(10)^{15} km

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: 3.09 × 108 AU

3.09(10)^{8} AU \frac{1.5(10)^{8} km}{1 AU}=4.635(10)^{16} km

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

49976 pc \frac{3.262 ly}{1 pc} \frac{63000 AU}{1 ly} \frac{1.5(10)^{8} km}{1 AU}=1.54(10)^{18} km

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

4.7 billion km=4.7(10)^{12} km

Now that we have all the distances in kilometers we can compare and arrange them in order from least to greatest:

Distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km=4.7(10)^{12} km

Distance to the star Betelgeuse:  640 ly=6.048(10)^{15} km

Distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: 3.09(10)^{8} AU=4.635(10)^{16} km

Distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc=1.54(10)^{18} km

Which of the following is a domestic influence on foreign policy?
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is - A famine in Ireland prompts US response.

With the Irish famine of the 19th century, and the response to it by the United States, we have a very nice example of domestic influence on foreign policy.

Namely, the Irish potato famine was so bad, that very large percentage of the Irish population actually died, and the rest of the population was on the verge of starvation. Because of this, lots of people wanted to move out of the country in order to at least be able to have food on the table. This prompted a response from the United States, and they made an exception in their strict foreign policy because of the Irish people, so opened their borders to them in order to help them, thus letting them settle in the country.
