Answer:

Lightyears

Explanation:

When dealing with very large interstellar distances, astronomers do not use the regular miles, kilometers, or meters we are used to. This is because they are just too small to be used as a metric when measuring such large distances. As a matter of fact, the earthly number system will quickly be exhausted when trying to measure some of these interstellar distances.

Instead, astronomers make use of Lightyears. Lightyears are defined by the distance traveled by an object moving at the speed of light if it was moving constantly at that speed for one year.

This can properly be used to estimate interstellar distances. since its value is very large. 1 lightyear = 9,461,000,000,000 Km

If we say that our closest star is 9 lightyears away, we are saying that it will take an object moving at the speed of light 9 years to travel from that star to our planet.

How can we figure out the number of electons
sweet [91]

Answer:

Subtraction of the number of protons from the mass number.

Explanation:

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is similar to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

To determine the number of neutrons in an atom, we only have to subtract the number of protons from the mass number. Take note that the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons. And the number of particles present in the nucleus is referred to as mass number (Also called atomic mass).
