Question

How fast can you run in a second? Six feet? A couple of meters? In that same second, light would travel more than 900 million feet (about 300 million meters). That's almost from Earth to the Moon! This length can be called a light second because it is the distance light travels in a second. (A "kid second" would be those six feet you just sprinted.)

Evaluate the author’s use of description in this passage. How does she help you understand what a light second is? Support your answer with evidence from the text.

Answer 2

The author clearly describes what a light second is by including examples that her readers can relate to. She provides an example of how far a kid could run in a second and then shows just how much farther light can travel in the same time by describing the distance as "from Earth to the Moon."
