Compare the size of Earth with that of the Sun, the Milky Way galaxy, and the entire universe.

Geography
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explained Below in explanation.

Explanation:

Looking at the data in the text, we can see that the diameter of the Sun is about 100 times that of Earth, about 1,500,000 km for the Sun compared to about 12,000 km for Earth. A galaxy such as the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter. Since a light-year is about 10¹³ km, this means the Galaxy has a diameter of approximately 10¹⁸ km, or about 10¹⁴ times (100 million million times) the radius of Earth. The most distant objects visible define the limits of the visible universe (which is likely only a small part of the entire universe). These objects are about 10 billion light-years away, or 10²³ km. This is 10¹⁹ times (10 billion billion times) the radius of Earth.

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
kari74 [83]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.

1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals

2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place

3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast

5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other

6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer:

The direction plates are moving relative to each other

The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

Explanation:

Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.
