When we see a star in the night sky, we are actually seeing how it was sometime in the past. This is because light takes time to

travel from the star to Earth. Light travels 9.5 × 1015 m in one year. This distance is called 1 light year. When an astronomer sees the star Betelgeuse, which is approximately 6.08 × 1018 m from Earth, how long ago did the star appear the way it does to her today?

Solution -

The correct answer is  640 years

Step by Step Solutions -

The speed of light to travel some distance = 9.5 × 1015 m /year

Star Betelgeuse is at a distance of 6.08 × 1018 m  

The time taken by light to travel = distance /speed

= 6.08 × 1018 m  /9.5 × 1015 m /year

= 640 year.

9.5 x 1015 = 9642.5
<span>6.08 × 1018 = 6189.44
  If you take these two problems, and then subtract, and find out the difference between the two distances, then you should be able to get your answer.

 Hope this helps!</span>

ahrayia [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The genetically modified organisms are the organisms in which the genetic make up of the organism is altered. So that these organisms produce better yield and so as to improve their quality. The aim of genetic engineering in organisms is to develop or introduce a new trait in the organisms, which does not occur in the natural species. Thus the given statement is false as genetically modified organisms are reproducible.

Describe how a scientific question is written. What about this type of question makes it a ""scientific question""?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

A scientific question is an answerable and testable question that explains a particular aspect to a more general inquiry about nature. It is written in a manner that addresses a scientific inquiry. A scientific question has the following characteristics;

1. It is specific: A scientific question is not broad or cumbersome such that other questions are attached to it. It rather seeks the answer to a particular aspect of a broader question.

2. It is testable and replicable: This implies that to answer the question, standard scientific measures can be employed to solve it. It should also be replicable in any standard laboratory in the world using the equipment and measures specified.

3. It should be objective: This implies that the question should not be subject to personal opinions or have moral undertones to it.

4. It should solve a problem: Our world is posed with so many problems. A scientific question should provide answers to a specific part of one of these questions.

5. It is a new question that has not been satisfactorily answered before: A scientific question should not have received generally accepted scientific answers. It addresses a new problem that has not been answered previously.
