Both the Milky Way Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) have a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. The distance between the two galaxies is about 2.7 million light-years. Part A Use a scale on which 1 centimeter represents 240,000 light-years. What would be separation of galaxies on this scale? Express your answer in centimeters to two significant figures. Sacale 11 cm Submit Previous Answers Correct Correct answer is shown. Your answer 10.8 cm was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part. Part B How does the separation between galaxies compare to the separation between stars? ○ Relative separation between galaxies are approximately the same as relative separations between stars. Relative separation between stars are much greater than relative separations between galaxies. Relative separation between galaxies are much greater than relative separations between stars. Relative separation between stars are slightly greater than relative separations between galaxies Submit Request Answer Review
