Earth is 150 million kilometers from the sun, and the solar "wind" travels at about 400 km/sec. How long does it take particles from a solar storm to reach Earth? (Hint: Time = Distance / Speed. To convert from seconds to hours, divide the time in seconds by 3600.)

The correct answer is - 4.34 days.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from the sun to earth = 150 million kilometer

= 1500,00,000 km

The solar "wind" travels = 400 km/sec

= 400*60*60 km/ hour

= 1440000 km/hour

Then time = distance/speed

time = 1500,00,000 km/1440000 km/hour

time = 104.166666667 hours

time = 104.166666667/24

=  4.34 days.

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an objects's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
