Answer:

How star stuff got to Earth

When it has exhausted its supply of hydrogen, it can die in a violent explostion, called a nova. The explosion of a massive star, called a supernova, can be billions of times as bright as the Sun , according to "Supernova," (World Book, Inc., 2005). Such a stellar explosion throws a large cloud of dust and gas into space, with the amount and composition of the material expelled varying depending on the type of supernova.

A supernova reaches its peak brightness a few days after it first occurred, during which time it may outshine an entire galaxy of stars. The dead star then continues to shine intensely for several weeks before gradually fading from view, according to "Supernova."

The material from a supernova eventually disperses throughout interstellar space. The oldest stars almost exclusively consisted of hydrogen and helium, with oxygen and the rest of the heavy elements in the universe later coming from supernova explosions, according to "Cosmic Collisions: The Hubble Atlas of Merging Galaxies," (Springer, 2009).

"It's a well-tested theory," Impey said. "We know that stars make heavy elements, and late in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars and planets (and people)."

Cosmic connections

So, all life on Earth and the atoms in our bodies were created in the furnace of now-long-dead stars, he said.

In 2002, music artist Moby released "We Are All Made of Stars," explaining during a press interview that his lyrics were inspired by quantum physics. "On a basic quantum level, all the matter in the universe is essentially made up of stardust," he said.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area
Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = 5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2      (Conversion factor:  1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2  )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = 182.88\times 10^3cm     (Conversion factor:  1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}

We are given:

Density of ice = 0.917g/cm^3

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = 142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g

Hence, the mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g
