Using whatever means you wish (Excel, MatLab, IDL, python, abacus...) make up a spreadsheet of data for all 8 planets plus Pluto with the following information for each planet: Distance from Sun (in AU), Radius of the planet (in km), Mass of the planet (in 10^24 kg) and then calculate from these data (a) gravitational acceleration (m/s^2) at the surface (or 1 bar level for gas giants) of each planet; (b) escape speed (km/s) for each planet.

Please use the formulate sheet and show all steps to make sure the question is worth any points a) The initial ratio of deuterium (D) to hydrogen (H) in a planet's atmosphere was 175000; however, the present ratio is 1/1500 and the initial and final abundances of D are 5 x 10° atoms per m3 and 9 x 106 atoms per m2, respectively. What fraction of deuterium has been lost, and what fraction of hydrogen has been lost in this...
