The table below compares the distances between two bodies. Comparison of Distance Bodies Distance Earth and Y 59 AU Earth and Z 3.2 light years Based on the table, which of the following statements is true? Z is closer to Earth than Y is. Y is present outside the solar system. Y is most likely a galaxy close to Earth. Z is present outside the solar system.

Answer 1

Z is present outside the solar system.

Answer 2

Z is present outside the solar system.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 AU is equivalent to distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is approximately equal to 150 million kilometers.

1 light year is equivalent to distance traveled by light in one year.

1 light year = 63241.1 AU.

It is given that Y is at a distance of 59 AU and Z is 3.2 light years away from Earth.

This means that Y is closer to Earth and Z is very far. The solar system extends up to 122 AU. It means Z is present outside the solar system.
