The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x)
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y = height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.
Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.
Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.
The star is FARTHER from Earth than the limit of our ability to measure parallax.
The NEAREST star outside the solar system has a parallax angle of 0.742 SECOND. That's like 0.000206 of a degree ! ALL other stars have SMALLER parallax.
I have no idea how they measure angles like these ... especially when the change in direction takes six months to happen !
Answer:
The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
Explanation:
A peak in the sunspot count is referred to as a time of "solar maximum" (or "solar max"), whereas a period when few sunspots appear is called a "solar minimum" (or "solar min"). An example of a recent sunspot cycle spans the years from the solar min in 1986, when 13 sunspots were seen, through the solar max in 1989 when more than 157 sunspots appeared, on to the next solar min in 1996 (ten years after the 1986 solar min) when the sunspot count had fallen back down to fewer than 9.
