Question 3
Question
What is the definition of AU?
Answer
-
The astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
-
The astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from the Earth to Mars.
Question 4
Question
Define a Light-Year:
Answer
-
The distance light travels in a year
-
a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in two years, which is 9.4607 × 1012 km (nearly 6 trillion miles)
Question 5
Question
Define Scientific Notation:
Answer
-
Scientific notation is a mathematical expression used to represent a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by ten, so you can write large numbers using less digits.
-
Scientific notation is a mathematical expression used to represent a decimal number between 1 and 100 multiplied by ten, so you can write large numbers using less digits.
Question 6
Question
Define Parralax:
Answer
-
the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g., through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera.
-
the position or direction of an object appears to stay the same when viewed from different positions, e.g., through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera.
Question 7
Question
Define Triangulation:
Answer
-
Uses simple geometry to determine distance in space by using a baseline and two angles
