publish a book in which he explained his heliocentric theory.

Explanation:

The heliocentric theory is the one according which the Sun is in the center of our Solar Sistem and the planets go around it.  

Previously to this theory (before Copernicus) the prevalent theory was geocentrism accordind which it was the earth who stood in the center and all the other celestial bodies went around it.

E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

What is the potential difference when the current in a circuit is 5mA and resistance is 30 Ohms
Mashcka [7]

<h2>\bf{ \underline{Given:- }}</h2>

\sf• \: The \:  current \:  in \:  a \:  circuit \:  is  \: 5 \: amps.  \: and  \: resistance \:  is \:  30 \:  Ohms.

\\

<h2>\bf{ \underline{To \:  Find :- }}</h2>

\sf{• \:  The  \: Potential  \: Difference. }

\\

\huge\bf{ \underline{ Solution:- }}

\sf According  \: to  \: the  \: question,

\sf•  \: Current \:  (I) = 5  \: Amps.

\sf• \:  Resistance  \: (R) = 30 \:  Ω

\sf{Potential \:  difference  \: means  \: Voltage \: ( V).}

\sf{We \:  know \: that, }

\bf \red{ \bigstar{ \: V = IR }}

\rightarrow \sf V =5 \times 30

\rightarrow \sf V =150

\\

\sf \purple{Therefore, \:  the \:  potential  \: difference  \: is  \: 150  \: v \: .}
