(b) The parsec is an astronomical unit of length approximately equal to 3.08×1016 m. How many light-years are there in 1.00 parsec?All of the stars of the Big Dipper (part of the constellation Ursa Major) may appear to be the same distance from the earth, but in fact they are very far from each other. Figure shows the distances from the earth to each of these stars. The distances are given in light-years (ly), the distance that light travels in one year. One light-year equals 9.461 * 1015 m. (a) Alkaid and Merak are 25.6 apart in the earth’s sky. In a diagram, show the relative positions of Alkaid, Merak, and our sun. Find the distance in light-years from Alkaid to Merak. (b) To an inhabitant of a planet orbiting Merak, how many degrees apart in the sky would Alkaid and our sun be?(a) How much time does it take light to travel from the moon to the earth, a distance of 384,000 km? (b) Light from the star Sirius takes 8.61 years to reach the earth. What is the distance from earth to Sirius in kilometers?
- How long (in seconds) will it take a radio signal to travel 3.08 x1010 m through space?How long does it take light to travel three times around the circumference of Earth? The radius of Earth is 6371.0 km and the speed of light is 2.998×105 km s−1.Light speed c = 3.0* 108 m/s. A light year is a distance light travels in one year. Calculate a light-year in [a] km and [b] Mile
- An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun, about 92.9 × 106 mi. A parsec (pc) is the distance at which a length of 1 AU would subtend an angle of exactly 1 second of arc (the figure). A light-year (ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 186000 mi/s, would cover in 1.0 year. Express the Earth–Sun distance in (a) parsecs and (b) light-years.what is the connection between the speed of light and the SI (International System of Standards) definition of the meter?The distance between Saturn and the sun is approximately 8.9 × 108 mi. The speed of light is approximately 1.9 × 105 miles per second. How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Saturn? Answer in units of sec.
