If you could count stars at a rate of about one per second, how long would it take to count all the stars in the Milky Way Galax
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It could take several thousands of years.

Explanation:

To be specific, the exact number of stars in the galaxy is unknown, it's estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars.

But for the sake of this test, let's take as valid a recent study of the European space agency, that believes that we have 100 billion stars orbiting our galaxy.

If you could count 1 every second it would mean you'll need at least 100 billion seconds to do it. How many days is that?

We have:

100 billion seconds = 1.666 billion minutes

1.666 billion minutes = 27.777 million hours

27.777 million hours = 1,157 million days = 3,170 years.

You would need at least, 3170 years of spare time, considering that you will do no other thing than counting stars for the next 3 millennia.

What is likely to happen in the long term if the Earth continues to absorb more energy than it emits? A. The Earth will disconti
zvonat [6]

Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.  

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water (H_{2}O), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.  

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.
