La estrella mas proxima a la tierra esta a 2 años de luz. Calcula esta distancia en unidades del SI

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]2\ ly=1.89\times 10^{16}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

The question says that, "The closest star to the earth is 2 light years away. Calculate this distance in SI units".

Given that,

The distance between the closest star and the Earth is 2 light years.

The SI unit of distance is m. It means we need to convert light years to meters. We know that,

[tex]1\ ly=9.461\times 10^{15}\ m[/tex]

2 light-years means,

[tex]2\ ly=2\times 9.461\times 10^{15}\ m\\\\=1.89\times 10^{16}\ m[/tex]

So, the required distance is equal to [tex]1.89\times 10^{16}\ m[/tex].
