The Curiosity Rover has recently landed on Mars and likes to send Twitter updates on its progress. If a tweet is posted 15 minutes after it was sent, how far is Curiosity from Earth?

2.7 x 10¹¹ m

Explanation:

Given,

time = 15 minutes

1 min = 60 s

15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

Distance of Curiosity from earth

D = Speed x time

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

D =  3 x 10⁸ x 900

D = 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

Distance of curiosity from earth is equal to  2.7 x 10¹¹ m

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.
