Answer: Light years is a form of measurement like km

Explanation: light years is the speed of light which is 299792458 meters a second but for earth years for example 1 light year is 365 normal days Which is 8760 hours which is 525600 minutes which is 31536000 seconds

so 31536000 x 299792458 is 9,454,254,955,488,000 meters a year which to simplify it and not needing to say that many numbers we say one light year.

10. The position of a place north or south of the equator is measured in A. meridians of latitude. B. terms proportional distanc
Bogdan [553]

The position of a place north or south of the equator is described
in terms of its latitude.  Since we're talking about the surface of
a sphere, latitude is an angle, and its value is given in angle
measure. 

Any unit of angle is fine ... degrees, radians, grads, etc., and if
you're given an angle in one unit, you can always easily change
it to a unit that you like better ... but 'degrees' has been the unit
used most often for latitude, and longitude too, practically since
the whole system was invented a few hundred years ago.

For parts of an angle smaller than a whole degree, 1/60 of a
degree (minutes) and 1/3600 of a degree (seconds) were used
traditionally for the first couple hundred years.  But that ponderous,
inconvenient system is rapidly giving way now to plain old decimal
degrees, probably because those are easier for the computer to handle.

Because Esther refused to bow and reverence Haman, he wanted to destroy her and all her people. True or false?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

There are different explanations for Mordecai’s refusal to kneel and bow before Haman. The text says that Mordecai did not kneel before Haman because he was a Jew. It is possible that Mordecai refused to bow to Haman because he was an Amalekite, since the Jews and the Amalekites had been enemies for centuries.

What is unusual about the borders of angola?
Mariana [72]
Angola's borders are fairly straight compared to borders of any other country. The coastline and the southern lines are straight while the eastern and northern borders have stair-like shape but are fairly straight too. The country looks like a gun in some way too!
