Imagine that you are looking at two stars in the night sky. The second star appears brighter than the first star. Name at least two reasons from the passage that the second star might appear brighter. -please read this to help u ---> After the sun sets, take a look at the night sky. On a clear night, you’ll be able to see stars scattered across the black expanse that we call our universe. If you’re lucky, you might be able to spot some stars that look bigger than others—they shine brighter and attract our attention more than their smaller neighbors do. You might wonder: why are some stars brighter than others?
After much observation, scientists discovered the way stars appear to us depends on more than their actual size—it’s also about how far they are from us. Therefore, the farther a star is from Earth, the smaller it will appear to us. The closer it is, the bigger it will look.
Try to think of the biggest star you’ve seen in the sky. An easy one, right? The sun! That’s because the sun is closest to us compared to all other stars, located at just a short 150 million kilometers from Earth.
The next one? That’s a tougher question. Many people answer Alpha Centauri, but some don’t know that it’s actually a cluster of three stars—Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light-years away and closest to our sun. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. We use this measurement because light is the only thing in the universe that maintains a constant speed. However, even though Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the earth after the sun, you can only see it with a very powerful telescope. That doesn’t make sense—didn’t we just say that closer stars appear larger and more visible?
Well, Proxima Centauri is what we call a red dwarf. Red dwarf stars are very small, typically having less than half the mass of the sun. That means they generate less energy than the sun. Most stars burn hydrogen for fuel. Similar to the way a car uses gas for power, a star uses hydrogen for energy. Red dwarfs burn hydrogen very slowly, which means they generate little light compared to stars like the sun.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star after the sun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what we consider close in our minds. To completely understand how far away this star is, let’s think about traveling 4.24 light-years away. NASA has built one of the fastest spacecrafts in existence, called New Horizons, which travels at about 60,000 kilometers per hour. Even at this speed, it would take the spacecraft 78,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri from Earth.
Sadly, the first few closest stars are not visible to the naked eye at night, which means we can’t see them while we’re stargazing from our homes or backyards. The closest star we can see at night is called Sirius, or the Dog Star. While Proxima Centauri is only 4.24 light-years away, Sirius is 8.6 light-years away. However, since Sirius is so large (almost twice the size of the sun), we can see it in the night sky.
So go outside and see what you can find up there!

What year (BC/B.C.E.) did the Egyptians successfully settle the world’s oldest civilization, and how long after Mesopotamia was it?
Answer:
Explanation:
Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River, situated in the place that is now the country Egypt. Ancient Egyptian civilization followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3100 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology)[1] with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes (often identified with Narmer).[2] The history of ancient Egypt occurred as a series of stable kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age.
The pyramids of Giza are among the most recognizable symbols of the civilization of ancient Egypt.
Egypt reached the pinnacle of its power in the New Kingdom, ruling much of Nubia and a sizable portion of the Near East, after which it entered a period of slow decline. During the course of its history Egypt was invaded or conquered by a number of foreign powers, including the Hyksos, the Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians, and the Macedonians under the command of Alexander the Great. The Greek Ptolemaic Kingdom, formed in the aftermath of Alexander's death, ruled Egypt until 30 BC, when, under Cleopatra, it fell to the Roman Empire and became a Roman province.[3]
The success of ancient Egyptian civilization came partly from its ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile River valley for agriculture. The predictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which supported a more dense population, and social development and culture. With resources to spare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent writing system, the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military intended to assert Egyptian dominance. Motivating and organizing these activities was a bureaucracy of elite scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under the control of a pharaoh, who ensured the cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people in the context of an elaborate system of religious beliefs.[4]
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include the quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that supported the building of monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks; a system of mathematics, a practical and effective system of medicine, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, the first known planked boats,[5] Egyptian faience and glass technology, new forms of literature, and the earliest known peace treaty, made with the Hittites.[6] Ancient Egypt has left a lasting legacy. Its art and architecture were widely copied, and its antiquities carried off to far corners of the world. Its monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of travelers and writers for centuries. A newfound respect for antiquities and excavations in the early modern period by Europeans and Egyptians led to the scientific investigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciation of its cultural legacy.[7]
Answer:
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world.
Sumerians. Let's start with Sumer. We believe Sumerian civilization first took form in southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE—or 6000 years ago—which would make it the first urban civilization in the region.

1. How does our unit essential question (How did issues of power, wealth, and morality influence exploration and colonization in North America?) connect to desires for God, Gold, and Glory?
2. How could exploration of a new land bring power to a person? To a nation?
3. Why might nations feel compelled to spread their religious traditions outside of their own borders?
4. Is the desire for gold/wealth a personal desire or a patriotic desire? Can it be both?
5. How does the desire for power and wealth connect to or conflict with the desire for morality?
Answer:
The person who discovered the land would instantly be brought to light n would be well known after that. For the nation it would be a big plus because if there is something valuable on that land other countries may want part of it, or want to trade with North America. So basically it would bring power to the nation by having the upper hand amd the person who found it would almost become famous for it.

You can substitute an egg with which of the following? A. 2 egg whites B. 1/2 cup egg substitute C. Both A and B D. None of the above
one or the other
You can substitute an egg with 2 egg whites.
Thus, the correct option is A.
What do you mean by egg?An egg is an organic container that an animal develops to house an egg cell that may have been fertilized and to incubate an embryo from it inside the egg until the embryo has developed into an animal fetus that can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches.
The majority of arthropods, including insects, vertebrates, and mollusks, lay eggs, however some do not, like scorpions. Eggs laid by reptiles, birds, and monotremes are laid outside of water and encased in a flexible or rigid protective shell.
While the embryo develops, eggs deposited on land or in nests are often maintained in a warm and suitable temperature range. The embryo "hatches," or emerges from the shell of the egg, when it is sufficiently mature.
A temporary egg tooth is a tool certain embryos have for breaking, cracking, or pipping the eggshell or covering.
