Leif Erikson was an explorer from Iceland who was on a voyage where it is possible that he was the first to spot the shore of what is now known as the Americas. It is possible he wasn't the very first to spot the shore however, as there were others on the voyage. He was born almost 500 years BEFORE Christopher Columbus.

Christopher Columbus is typically referred to as the person who discovered America, however, he didn't actually know that it was a new land. He also never set foot in North America. Because he didn't know this was a new land, he technically did not "discover" America.

Amerigo Vespucci was the one who officially discovered the land Columbus landed on was a new land, now known as the Americas. The Americas were even named after him.

In schools, however, they normally teach that Columbus was the one who "discovered" America, so I would go with <u>C. Christopher Columbus.</u>

Voyager I is now about 110 AU from Earth, continuing to record its environment as it approaches the limits of our Solar System.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.

Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.

(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.

As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU

The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU

The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU

The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71

= 3758.835 times.

(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr

Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr

Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours

That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.

Write about the poverty in Afghanistan
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Most of the money in Afghanistan is not suprisingly used to purchase weapons, amoury and military confinements. This obviously doesn't come cheap. So in thought that war would get them rich, making civilians happier with life in Afghan, everything went wrong and they had a downfall. There is not a single battle going on meaning weapons cannot be used. Meaning it was a waste of money. They then sold few amounts of guns, armoury and soldiers to the U.S and got not much money. This is why they are what they are today.

All of the following are effects of rotation on the physical characteristics of Earth's surface EXCEPT:
Flura [38]

Answer:

<u>the Coriolis effect</u>

Explanation:

  • Coriolis force or effect is the effect that is produced due to the rotation of the earth on its axis and another physical feature is the same as the length of day and night, tidal motion by the air currents and seasonal changes on earth.
  • All these are physical characteristics or effects on the earth's surface. Coriolis force deflects the winds in the right direction as per the northern hemisphere and deflects the winds towards the left side of the southern hemisphere as the rotation of the earth at the speed of 460 meters per second for about 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0 seconds.
  • Hence,  producing equinoxes and solstices.
