Why light years are used to measure distances in the universe

Geography

Light travels at an extremely fast speed. So using "lightyears" means how fast and far light can go in an entire year (a whole lot). So it's a very very large scale of distance considering how fast light travels. Overall, it's mainly used because the distance is so great that measuring in miles or kilometers is not reliable or as sufficient as lightyears

<span>Since it becomes quite difficult to write and interpret this figure using normal units of miles and kilometres, astronomers use light year to interpret it.</span>

How has the US been involved in the Middle East since WWII?
rjkz [21]

After World War II, The United States got heavily involved in the Middle East, mostly because of its political and economic interests.

Explanation:

After the World War ended, the Middle East was a region that just got its freedom after a very long time. The young states had lot of problems, and there was big interests from the global superpowers for controlling them because they lied on enormous reserves of oil.

The United States rushed to make good relations and if possible to control some of the countries. There was enormous competition for the region though, especially from the Soviet Union. The United States invested heavily, and put in a lot of effort to secure the region for themselves, and i part managed to.

The long term benefits of this have been huge for the United States. Also, whenever there was someone in the region that was threatening their interests, the United States didn't hesitated to use their military power and put things under their control.

Some of military interventions by the United States in this region were:

  • Soviet-Afghan war
  • the Gulf War
  • Iraq war
  • Afghanistan war
  • Syria war

Choose the most correct scenario for a sunny summer afternoon at a parking lot.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

D. Solar radiation heats the asphalt; the air immediately above is heated through conduction; the warm air rises in free convection.

Explanation:

As the parking lot is exposed to the sun, on a sunny afternoon, we can consider that the sun is radiating with high intensity in this environment, causing the asphalt to be strongly heated. In this case, the air that comes in contact with the asphalt ends up being heated, because the heat of the asphalt is transmitted by the air through the process called conduction, which is the heat transmitted by the agitation of the molecules.

The heated air becomes less dense, that is, it becomes lighter and this causes it to rise, while the cold air is more dense and descends, coming into contact with hot asphalt and also heating up. In that case, a heat transfer called convection occurred.
