The distance is 41 parsecs (approx 134 lightyears).
The distance from Earth to the star Gamma Virginis, also known as Porrima, is approximately 38.2 light-years. This star is a binary star system located in the constellation Virgo.
Gamma is a general term that typically refers to electromagnetic radiation produced during radioactive decay. It is not a specific entity or location, so it does not have a defined distance from Earth.
It is a mythological water creature with many heads.
The binary star Gamma Leonis (Algieba, the forehead) is about 126 light-years from Earth.
Gamma rays are not necessarily harmful to the planet Earth, but to all the living organisms that inhabit it, as Gamma is a powerful form of radiation.
The earth would have to be a supermassive dying star to emit gamma rays.
Sadr is the traditional name of Star Gamma Cygni located in the constellation Cygnus having distance of about 1800 light years from the Earth .
Yes, gamma rays from outer space can reach the surface of the Earth. However, much of the high-energy gamma radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly the ozone layer, before reaching the surface.
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
The earth would be completely destroyed.
No, gamma ray bursts do not occur on Earth. They are extremely energetic explosions from distant sources in space, such as collapsing stars or merging neutron stars. If a gamma ray burst were to occur close to Earth, it could have devastating effects on our planet.
Gamma Cygni, also known as Sadr, is approximately 1,800 light-years away from Earth.
