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...
