Solution

From the image you uploaded, it looks like you are working on a simulation in which you are asked to measure the radius of your home planet and calculate the time it would take light to travel that distance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to solve this:

  1. Step 1: Understanding the Field of View (FOV)

    • The problem says, “The view of the sky is currently 20,000 km across.”
    • This means the diameter of the planet visible in the simulation is 20,000 km.
  2. Step 2: Calculating the Radius of the Planet

    • The radius rr is half the diameter.
    • Since the diameter is given as 20,000 km: r=200002=10,000kmr = \frac{20000}{2} = 10,000 \, \text{km}
    • The radius of the planet is 10,000 km.
  3. Step 3: Calculating the Time for Light to Travel the Radius

    • The speed of light cc is given as ( 3.00
