Answer:

light-year; the sun

Explanation:

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. This means that a light-year is a measure of distance, and is useful on a larger scale because of its large size (light travels a pretty big distance in a year!), so light-years are used by scientists to measure the vast distance in space.

The closest star to the Earth is the Sun.

Gravity is the natural phenomenon in which all objects with mass are attracted to (or gravitate towards) one another. Since gravity is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Light is the portion of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye (between infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths). Since light is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

A megameter is an instrument for determining longitude by observation of the stars. Since a megameter is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Betelguese is a star that is part of the Orion, notable because of its brightness and size, as well as the fact that it is likely to become a supernova in less than a million years. While Betelguese is a star, it isn't the closest star to the Earth. Therefore, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

hey Tai!

Explanation:

Well the 3 are correct. This is why!

The hind legs of a snowshoe hare are noticeably larger, and have more fur and larger toes than those of other rabbits or hares. These adaptations provide additional surface area and support for walking on snow. The hind legs are what give the hare (is the type of snowshoe) its common name.

Hares and rabbits are related, but there are some key differences. Hares tend to be larger than rabbits and have longer legs and bigger ears. When threatened, rabbits typically freeze and rely on camouflage, as compared to hares, who use their big feet to flee at the first sign of danger. Rabbits are born blind and helpless, while hares are born fully furred and ready to run.

The lynx is a solitary cat that haunts the remote northern forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. Lynx are covered with beautiful thick fur that keeps them warm during frigid winters. Their large paws are also furry and hit the ground with a spreading toe motion that makes them function as natural snowshoes.

In other words, both animals have different legs than common animals, since they live in the icy weather, therefore their legs must adapt to snow and speed to escape predators.
