The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.

How does bat length effect the balls distance?

A longer bat can generate more bat speed, potentially increasing the distance the ball travels when well hit. However, a longer bat can also be heavier and more difficult to control, so it may not always result in increased distance. Ultimately, the player's swing mechanics and contact point with the ball are more important factors in determining distance than bat length alone.


Distance alone does not determine temperature of a planet what is another important factor?

The composition of a planet's atmosphere is another important factor in determining its temperature. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the planet's surface and contribute to the overall temperature.


Did the Lesothosaurus live in herds or alone?

From what I have researched (not too much) the Ankylosaurus lived alone in most cases but in some cases in herds Hope This was useful


Is it true that moving an object a shorter distance requires more work than moving an object a greater distance?

No, this statement is not accurate. The work done is determined by the force applied and the distance over which that force is applied, not just the distance alone. The amount of work done depends on both factors and is independent of the distance moved alone.


How many things are in space?

Space contains countless celestial bodies such as planets, stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects. The estimated number of galaxies alone in the observable universe is in the billions. Additionally, there are various other phenomena in space including black holes, nebulae, and asteroids.


How composites are use?

it is useful because when combining the useful properties of two or more substances in a composite, chemists can make new material that works better than either one alone
