Does black or white reflect the sun?

White reflects the heat and light off the sun using a method known as radiation. Black absorbs the heat from the sun using the same method.


Select the two methods for shooting an azimuth using a compass?

One method for shooting an azimuth using a compass is the "compass-to-cheek" method, where the compass is held level with the eyes and directly in front of the face to sight the target. Another method is the "center-hold" method, where the compass is held at waist level and aligned with the target while looking through the sighting window.


What kinds of questions cannot be explored by using the scientific method?

Questions that cannot be explored by using scientific method are questions that cannot be tested. Questions that cannot be tested therefore cannot be proven or disproved, which is the point of scientific method.


How do astronomers measure distances to stars including the parallax method?

Astronomers use the parallax method to measure distances to stars by observing how a star's position shifts against distant background stars as Earth orbits around the Sun. By measuring the angle of this shift and knowing the baseline distance between Earth's orbit positions, astronomers can calculate a star's distance using trigonometry. The parallax method is most effective for nearby stars within a few hundred light-years from Earth.


Can you tell the time using your shadow?

Yes, you can estimate the time of day by the length and direction of your shadow. In the morning, the shadow will be longer, pointing towards the west, and in the afternoon, the shadow will be shorter, pointing towards the east. This method is not as precise as using a clock, but it can give you a rough idea of the time.
