Why in astronomy is distance measured in light 'years'?

Geography

Measuring in light-years also allows astronomers to determine how far back in time they are viewing , Because light takes time to travel to our eyes. Everything we view during the dark in night has already been happened.

Which monsoon would a trader rely on to sail from Africa to India ?
jolli1 [7]
<span>Sometime before 100 B.C., Greek sailors coming from Egypt discovered a shortcut to India.  Much easier and more direct than the arduous overland route, or than hugging the deserted coastlines of Arabia and Persia for 5,000 miles, this route took only weeks to travel.  Sailing straight out into the open waters of the Arabian Sea during the late spring, ships were whisked by the monsoon winds on a steady northeast course, arriving on India’s west coast by mid-summer. It was a daring feat for those first sailors who attempted it.  In a time when ships rarely ventured out of sight of land, and open waters invited the prospect of drifting aimlessly at sea, it took an extraordinarily bold, unlucky, or stupid navigator to sail out into one of the largest bodies of water on the planet.  Fortunately for those first crews who made the attempt, they were saved by one of the great forces of nature: the monsoon.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

1) 100%

2) Lose.

3) Entropy.

The second law of thermodynamics states that no process is 100% efficient. Thus, every system in the universe has a specific amount of energy in it. As the system functions, it will lose energy and gain entropy.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics, also known as the entropy law or heat engine law, states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. It either increases (for irreversible processes, that is, most real life processes) or it remains constant (for reversible processes).

This translates to an expected loss of energy for any real life process thereby making it impossible for any process to be 100% efficient. This all then leads to entropy increase (a gain of entropy).

Hope this Helps!!!
