A. a new dwarf planet because dwarf planets are round
Although the light year is a
commonly used unit, astronomers
prefer a different unit called the parsec (pc). A parsec, equal to 3.26
light years, is defined as the distance at which 1 Astronomical Unit subtends an
angle of 1 second of arc (1/3600 of a degree) When we use the parsec for really
large distances, we often put a prefix in front of it - like kiloparsecs (kpc),
which are equal to 1000 parsecs - or Megaparsecs (Mpc), equal to a million
parsecs.
The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km
(about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near
the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known
as the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way.
Answer:
c. Montevideo, Uruguay (35°S)
Explanation:
Montevideo, Uruguay (35°S) had the longest day on June 21, 2019 during the Summer Solistics when the sun is directly over the tropic of cancer which is on latitude 23.5 degrees North. Montevideo is closest in latitude to this point among the options and as such will experience a longer day compared to the other options.
The climate is continental. cold winters and mild summers. hope this helped
The thin outermost layer of the solid Earth is called the crust. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the second option. The crust actually accounts for less than 1 percent of the volume of the Earth. The Earth can actually be divided into four parts and they are crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.
