The Sun is much larger than the Moon. However, in our sky, they both appear about the same size. Using the actual size of each (Rsun = 6.96 x 105km, Rmoon = 1.74 x 103 km) and their average distance from the Earth (dsun = 1.496 x 108 km, dmoon = 3.84 x 105 km), calculate the angular size of both.

During a solar eclipse the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on the Moon then, due to both Earth and the Sun. The masses of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are 1.99 x100 kg, 5.98 x1024 kg, and 7.36 x 1022 kg, respectively. The Moon's mean distance from Earth is 3.84 × 108 m, and Earth's mean distance from the Sun is 1.50 x 1011 m. The...

Moon Pory om Earth Roe Sun For simplicity, assume the earth moves in a circular orbit around the sun, and the moon circles the earth, all in the horizontal plane. The center of the earth is a distance of 1.5*1011 m from the center of the sun, circling at an angular velocity of de = 2*10-7 rad/s (1 revolution per year). The center of the moon is a distance of 3.84*108 m from the center...

1) The Solar and Sidereal days difer from each other by about 4 minutes. How much distance, relative to the Sun and in km, does the Earth travel during that time? (You may approximate the Earth's orbit as a perfect circle.) 2) How many degrees does the Moon move in its orbit during one Earth-day. Use the Moon's orbital period relative to distant stars, i.e. use its sidereal period. 3) a) Since the Earth makes one full revolution every 24...

Question 7 (0.5 points) What causes the Moon to move about 12° across the sky from one night to the next (at the same time of night, of course)? O Because the Earth is turning on its axis. O Because the Moon is moving in its orbit. The Sun has also moved 15° across the sky and gravitationally pulls the Moon with it. The celestial sphere the Moon is attached to has moved 15°. O It is an optical illusion....

In our derivation of Kepler's laws, we assumed the only force on
a planet is due to the Sun. In a real solar system, however, the
gravitational forces from the other planets can sometimes be
important. Calculate the gravitational force of Jupiter on the
Earth. Do the calculations for the cases when Jupiter is both
closest (Fc) to and farthest
(Ff) from the Earth (see the figure below).
