How can we use variations in luminosity to set limits on the size of an active galactic nucleus?

If we see an object brighten in 1 hour, we know that the object cannot be longer than 1 light-hour in size. If it were, light from the far side of the object would start arriving at our telescopes more than an hour after the light from the front side and we would see the brightening take longer time than an hour to occur.

This is important 1. what happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid? (2 points) the molecules slow down. the molecules speed up. the molecules slow down and then speed up. the molecules speed up and then slow down. 2. how might human activities change to compensate for a decrease in water supplies? (2 points) humans might build a factory. humans might build drainage systems. humans might extract more water from the ground. human behavior does not change because of the water cycle. i'll be grateful if anyone can answer these 2 questions !
