The nearest neutron star (a collapsed star made primarily ofneutrons) is about 3.00 × 1018 m away from Earth. Given thatthe Milky Way galaxy (Fig. P1.81) is roughly a disk of diameter~ 10²' m and thickness ~ 1019 m, estimate the number of neu-tron stars in the Milky Way to the nearest order of magnitude.Figure P1.81

We are going to make a simple approximation of the number of atoms in the universe. Assume all the atoms in the universe are hydrogen. (In actual practice, over 75% of the atoms in the universe are hydrogen.) Assume the sun is a typical star (made of pure hydrogen) has a density of 1.4 g/cm3 and is a sphere with a radius of 7.0*108m Assume that there are 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy that are identical to our sun. Assume that there are 10 billion galaxies in the universe identical to our Milky Way galaxy. How many atoms are there in the universe?

The distance around the Earth's equator is 40,077 kilometers, and the population of the United States in 1,950 was approximately 150,000,000 people. If this many people were spaced equally around the equator, what would be the length of the space each person would have to the nearest centimeter? The approximate length the space would be cm.
Using a single dimensional equation, estimate the number of steps it would take you, walking at your normal stride, to walk from the Earth to Alpha Centauri, a distance of 4.3 light-years. The speed of light is 1:86 x 105A miles/s.
