Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

Answer:

Distance = 80cm

Displacement = 20cm

Explanation:

Distance does not depend on direction, its the total amount traveled.

Displacement has a direction. Displacement is how far your stopping point is from the beginning point.

The ant could have walked 50cm to the east, stopped and turned around, walked 50cm to the west, walking a total distance of 100cm, but the displacement would be 0 because he ended up at the same spot that he started. It can get much more complicated than this, but this is a good start.

The explanation for the following answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles(150 million kilometers) away from the earth.It is so far away that light from the Sun,travelling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth.Earth does not travel around the Sun in a perfect circle.Instead its orbit is elliptical,like a stretched circle,with the sun just off the center of the orbit. At its closest,the Sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million kilometers ) away us.At its farthest ,the Sun is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km) away.The Earth is closest to the Sun during winter in the northern hemisphere
