Question
The Kepler spacecraft was designed to investigate humanity's last unexplored frontier: the far reaches of space. The NASA space telescope looks deep into the Milky Way galaxy for signs of habitable planets where humans could potentially thrive. In the thousands of planets, it has identified, three are in livable orbits similar to Earth. The planet most similar to Earth is Kepler 186f, known as "Earth's cousin ” Over 490 light years away, all that NASA knows is that Kepler 186f's size and distance from its star are comparable to Earth. As technology advances, hopefully we will learn more about Kepler 186f's ability to nurture life. Perhaps someday our descendants will cross the insurmountable distance to explore the surface of Earth's cousin, maybe even contact with life on another world. The following questions are based on this passage 16. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the second paragraph? a. Scientists know many facts about the planet Kepler-186f X b. Conditions on Kepler-186f will allow humans to thrive @ From what scientists have leamed so far, Kepler 186f is the planet most similar to Earth d. The Kepler space telescope's main mission is to explore the Milky Way 17 Which of the following is evidence for the theory that Kepler-186f may be able to support life? a. Kepler-186f will be the destination for our descendants someday x b Kepler-186f is an unexplored frontier Kepler-186f's size and distance from its star is comparable to Earth d. Kepler-186f is more than 490 light-years from Earth A 18. Which word below best describes the author's point of view in the passage? A) Informative b. Persuasive X c. Entertaining X @AnalyticalExplanation / Answer
STEP 1 :-
Q.16 Answer : (c) From what scientist have learned so far, Kepler 186f is the the planet most similiar to Earth.
Yes, your answer is correct.
Explaination: In the second paragraph it says that Kepler-186f also known as Earth's cousin, size and and distance from its star is comparable to Earth's size and its distance from our Sun. It is known with the help of NASA space telescope.
STEP 2:-
Q. 17 Answer; Yes, your answer is correct i.e. (c) Kepler-186f size and distance from its star is comparable to earth.
Explaination: We know that Earth support life ecosystem because it provide life essential requirements both biotic and abiotic factors because it is neither too hot nor too cold because of its distance from the sun which is suitable condition for life supporting environment. That is why Kepler-186f may be able to support life.
STEP 3:-
Q.18 Answer: Yes your answer is correct.
It is the just the information provided by the NASA space telescope and Kepler spacecraft.
