A comet has a period of 72.3 years and moves in an elliptical orbit in which its perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) is 0.650 AU. Find the semimajor axis of the comet and an estimate of the comet's maximum distance from the Sun, both in astronomical units. (a.) the semimajor axis of the comet (in AU). (b.) an estimate of the comet's maximum distance (in AU) from the Sun.

(1) Halley's Comet and Kepler's Laws: Halley's Comet orbits the Sun every 76.0 years. Its elliptical orbit has an eccentricity of 0.97. Using that information and the Kepler material in Math Insight Box 3.2 (p.70) and Figures 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18: 40 points total] (a) Find the comet's average distance from the Sun (semimajor axis, a) (b) Find its closest and furthest distances from the Sun: the Perihelion & Aphelion distances.

A)Some comets are in highly elongated orbits that come very close to the sun at perihelion. The distance from one such comet to the center of the sun is 6.00×10^9m at perihelion and 3.00×10^12m at aphelion. For this comet's orbit, find the semi-major axis. B) In 2017 astronomers discovered a planet orbiting the star HATS-43. The orbit of the planet around HATS-43 has semi-major axis 7.41×109m, eccentricity 0.173, and period 4.39 days. Find the distance between HATS-43 and the planet...

014 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points Ever since it was learned that an aster- oid hit the earth 65 million years ago and destroyed most life-forms, including the di- nosaurs, observations of new comets are fol- lowed with great interest! Suppose a new comet is found orbiting the sun as it is pass- ing its point of closest approach at a distance Tmin 0.658 AU (1 AU-semimajor axis (average radius) of the Earth's orbit.) Careful studies determine that its...

HD209458b was discovered in 1999, becoming the first exoplanet to be discovered using the transit method: this planet’s orbit is oriented just right, so that it regularly passes in front of its star, as seen from Earth. When this happens, it blocks out a portion of the star’s light. If astronomers notice the star’s brightness dipping for a short time over and over with a consistent period, it suggests a planet is responsible. Further observations of the star’s Doppler shift...
