READING
DIRECTIONS:

Read the passage.

Read each sentence.
Choose the correct answer.
Blacken A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet.

Some stars are so far away from Earth that no one knows their distance. But how far away are the
nearest stars?
The sun is the nearest star. The distance from the sun to the Earth is about 150,000,000
kilometers. Light travels at the rate of 300,000 kilometers a second. Therefore, it takes about
eight minutes for light from the sun to reach the Earth.
After the sun, the nearest stars to the Earth are Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri. Their
distance from the Earth is 270,000 times greater than the distance from the sun to the Earth. It
takes their light four and a half years to reach the Earth.
Because even the nearest stars are so far away, a unit for measuring the distance to stars was
developed. The unit is called a light-year. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year.
This is about ten trillion kilometers (10,000,000,000,000). The distance to Alpha Centauri and
Proxima Centauri is four and a half times that amount.
Only about 6,000 stars can be seen from Earth without a telescope, a device to help us see
objects that are far away. Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri are two of these stars. They are
both easily seen in the night sky.

10. The _________ is the unit used to measure distances to the stars.
A.
B.
C.
D.

year
second
kilometer
light-year

11. Light from Alpha Centauri reaches the Earth in _______.

A.
