suppose future astronauts are living on a martian base when a major solar flare occurs. how long will it be before the charged particles ejected from the sun during the flare reach them? (hint: use the data in the text to calculate this.)

Respuesta :

In 755.7 seconds, they were able to see the sun during the flare.

Briefly:-

 the distance between the Sun and Mars is 226.71 * 109 meters.

Speed of light is equal to 3 * 108 m/s.

Speed equals time/distance

Time = Speed/Distance

Time = (226.71 * 10^9)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 755.7 s

How long does a solar flare take to occur?

The bursts of energetic particles known as solar flares usually originate from sunspots on the surface of the sun. These intense bursts of radiation arrive at Earth in less than 10 minutes at the speed of light, yet the magnetosphere of our planet prevents the majority of them from reaching the surface.
