A light year is a distance.
It's the distance that light travels in a year, through vacuum.
The distance is about 5.875 trillion miles.
The nearest star outside our solar system is about 4.2 light years from us.
Sorry to have rambled on for so long.
Answer:
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location. Usually occurs in solids. When heat is supplied to one end, molecules at that end start to move more quickly.
Explanation:
Answer:
c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)
Explanation:
The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by
c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)
where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).
Rock fragments that are cemented together and compacted over time turn into sedimentary rock.
the whole process can be summed up as the combination of weathering of rocks to form sediments, transport of the sediments to form deposits, cementation of deposits to forms the sedimentary rocks.
