The brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere is sirius. its distance from earth is estimated to be 8.7 light years. a light year is the distance light travels in one year. light travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. calculate the distance from earth to sirius in miles. (1 mi = 5280 ft) g

Explanation:

A light year is a unit of length and is defined as "the distance a photon would travel in vacuum during a Julian year at the speed of light at an infinite distance from any gravitational field or magnetic field. "

In other words: It is the distance that the light travels in a year.  

This unit is equivalent to , which mathematically is expressed as:

Doing the conversion:

 This is the distance from Earth to Sirius in miles.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.
