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>

All of the following are functions of a coelom EXCEPT serving as a hydrostatic skeleton. processing and storing food. allows dig
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Processing and storing food.

Explanation:

The coelom is the hollow structure formed in the organisms filled with the coelom fluid. The coelom is formed during embryogenesis which may be lined by the mesodermal layer or not.

The formation of coelom serves many functions in different organisms like it allows the internal movement of the organs in the body, allows the independent movement of the digestive tract, the fluid present in the cavity acts as a hydrostatic skeleton in the lower organism and cushions the internal organs.

The function that is not performed by the coelom is that it is not involved in the processing and storing food in organisms.

Thus, Processing and storing food is correct.
