Question

The astronomical unit light year is the di 3.0x10* m/s. If a galaxy is 200 light years away from the earth then, in meters, how far is it? Hint: How far the light will travel in one year? How about 200 light years? stance traveled by light in one earth year and the speed of light is about d- (distance speed multiplied by time) yce Jeong spring-2019 Module 1 Homework

    f) in vacuum, light travels at about 186,282 miles per second. One mile is about 161 kilometers (km). Astronomers prefer to use units of distance that are reasonable in describing how far objects are from Earth. For example, for distances in the solar system we use the astronomical unit (AU), which is equal to the average distance of Earth from the Sun; 1 AU is about 150 million km. For distances to stars and galaxies, astronomers use the light-year (1...

    a) Using s = rθ, calculate the arc length (in meters) subtended by the sun when it moves an angular distance of 2 x10-6 °. The distance between the Earth and Sun is called an AU (astronomical unit). 1 AU = 1.5 x1011 m. (Don’t forget to convert to radians). As you can see from the above calculation, a small change in angle can correspond to a large distance. In astronomy angles are typically measured in arcminutes or arcseconds 1...
