How is scientific notation used in the galaxy?
As far as we know, we only use scientific notation here on Earth, for the computing of very large numbers (like the distance between planets) or very small numbers (like the radius of a hydrogen atom).
What is the best example of the purpose of scientific notation?
Any number that is very large, or very small (near zero). For example, the mass of the Sun in kilograms (large), the distance to the M31 galaxy in meters (large), or the mass of the electron in kilograms (small).
Why do the scientist use scientific notation to measure in the universe?
Using basic units from the SI system,the nearest star to the sun is approx 40,218,000,000,000,000 metres away.the furthest known galaxy is 126,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metres away.the mass of the sun is 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms.the mass of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately a trillion times as large.It is easier to make mistakes when working with such large numbers. Furthermore, in many cases, the numbers are known to only few significant digits so the trailing zeros are no more than place holders. That is why scientific notation is so useful.
What is a sentence using the word analogous?
The word 'analogous' means 'similar', 'comparable'. It is however, of a higher register than those two, and is mostly used in scientific writing. Here's an example of the word in use, taken from a scientific website: "Mind-blowing: Distance between local stars in our galaxy is analogous to 2 grains of sand miles apart"
What is the measure of each base angle of an isosceles triangle if its vertex angle measure 36 degrees and its 2 congruent sides measure 13 units?
If the vertex angle measures 36 degrees, then each base angle is 72 degrees, regardless of the length of the congruent sides. They may be the length of a DNA strand, a 57 Chevy, or the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy. It doesn't matter. The base angles are still 72 degrees.
How far away is earth from the Andromeda galaxy in kilometers in scientific notation?
The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.
What is the scientific notation of the Andromeda Galaxy having at least 200000000000 stars?
This can be expressed as: "The Andromeda Galaxy contains at least 2 x 1011 stars".
Who measured the distance of Andromeda Nebulae and named after him?
Andromeda Galaxy
Is there a galaxy called Andromeda?
Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our own and is the most distance object visible to the naked eye.
How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
How far from earth is the farthest star on the Andromeda galaxy?
Just about as far as the closest star in the Andromeda Galaxy. The diameter of the Andromeda galaxy is ... well, quite huge, but still relatively small, compared to the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. And I believe this diameter may still be smaller than the uncertainty in the distance estimate!
How far is the star on near side of Andromeda galaxy?
The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at 2.5 million light-years. The distinction between "near side" and "far side" is irrelevant, since the diameter of the Andromeda Galaxy is probably less than the error in the distance estimation.
What is the distance between Milky way Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy?
100,00 light years away.
Is the Andromeda galaxy an elliptical galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
Is the sun Neptune or Andromeda galaxy closest in distance to the earth?
The Sun is the closest of the three, followed by Neptune, then Andromeda.
What is so special about the Andromeda Galaxy?
At a distance of about 2.5 million light years, the Andromeda galaxy(also known as NGC 224 and M31) is the nearest galaxy to the Earth apart from smaller companion galaxies such as the Magellanic Clouds. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy.
Why was it named the Andromeda galaxy?
Because the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 is a major galaxy and is found in the constellation Andromeda.
