Scientists use two main measurements in space, because it is so large that miles, kilometers, feet, etc. are just too small to measure efficiently. The two main measurements scientists use are:
AU (Astronomical Units): 1 AU = the mean distance from the sun to earth. (Generally used when measuring distances within the solar system)
LY (Light Years): 1 LY is the distance that light travels in 1 year. (Generally used when measuring distances outside the solar system)
What else can I help you with?
What method of energy from the sun reaches the earth by which method or methods?
in the form of photons
What other process of scientific method to answer questions?
The scientific method is used to explain an observation. For example, the sun revolves around the earth. (This has been proven not to be true, but at one time was said to be true).These are the steps in this method:1. hypothesis (The sun revolves around the earth)2. experimentation (Use of the telescope and other instruments to prove that this is true)3. refine idea (data says this is not true, but that the earth revolves around the Sun)4. more experimentation (collect more data to double check)5.final statement (the Sun does NOT revolve around the earth)
What Eratosthenes determine the circumference of Earth by conducting an experiment put his steps in order as they correlate to the scientific method?
Make an observation that the sun casts no shadow in one well in Syene on the summer solstice. Form a hypothesis that the Earth is round based on the angle of the sun's rays at a different well in Alexandria. Conduct an experiment to measure the angle of the sun's rays at the different locations. Analyze the data and use geometry to calculate the circumference of the Earth.
What is earths scientific name?
Earth's scientific name is "the planet Earth" or "the third planet from the sun."
How many miles is earth away from the sun in scientific notation?
The earth is 92,960,000-miles away from the sun. In scientific notation that is 1.496 X 108 km. The sun is the star at the center of our solar system.
Can we create helium through a scientific process or method?
Yes, helium is created through a scientific process called nuclear fusion, which occurs in stars like the sun. On Earth, helium is extracted from natural gas deposits.
What heat transfer method allows earth to receive energy from the sun?
The primary heat transfer method that allows the Earth to receive energy from the sun is radiation. Solar energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation and is absorbed by the Earth's surface, warming it up.
What is the earth distance from the sun?
The earth is roughly 150E9 meters form the sun.
Why is it important for scientific to use the scientific method?
The Scientific Method is a method followed to make experiment results repeatable, as multiple people can do the same experiment and get the same answer, making the experiment reliable. It is a base for proving the results are correct. If it was not used, people would go back to less organized science, like Aristotalian science (he claimed the sun revolved around the earth, and was believed over other scientists with the correct view because he was popular, before the scientific method's creation).
What is used when astronomers measure the distance from the sun to the earth?
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
What is the scientific notation from earth to the sun?
9.3 × 107 miles.
What method of heat transfers by which the sun warms the earth?
radiation
