The time taken by light to reach pluto will be 5.6 hours.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The light is a electromagnetic wave that has the highest velocity and same velocity as all other electromagnetic radiations existing in this universe. The light takes about 8.2 seconds to reach from sun to earth. So lets check howmuch time does light take to reach pluto from sun.

The speed of light was calculated to be $3\times10^{8$ m/s. This is the speed of each and every electromagnetic waves.

The distance of pluto from sun is huge. On an average it's $6.1\times10^{9$ km or $6.1\times10^{12$ m.

So time taken by light to reach from sun to pluto will be $2 \times 10^4$ seconds. Or actually 5.6 hours.

Moths can be black or white. in highly polluted areas the tree bark of trees is dark, which allows the black moths to blend in.

Valentin [98]

The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
