people, but before boarding her spaceship ML-927 with a speed same as the speed of
light (2) 300, 000, 000 m/sec she was confused what to visit first, the Sun with a distance of
(3) 93, 000, 000 light years from the Earth or the Moon with a distance of (4) 240, 000 light
years from the Earth so she called her friend Miya and asked for her opinion. Miya
