If a planet has an average distance from the Sun of 2.0 AU, what is its orbital period? a. 4.0 years b. 2.8 years c. 2.0 years d. 1.4 years
Calculate the distance (in AU) of a planet from its star's center for a planet with an orbit of 145 years and a star 2.5 times the mass of the sun.
SCADO 10. A certain planet orbits the Sun with a period of 84 years. What is its distance from the Sun in Astronomical Units? (1 AU = the average distance between the Earth and the Sun)
An imaginary planet takes about 3 years to orbit the Sun. Based on Kepler's laws, what is the semi-major axis of its orbit (average distance from the Sun) in AU (astronomical units)?
Tau Ceti is a star that is located 11.753 ly away. There
is a planet orbiting this star with an orbital radius of 0.538 AU
(AU stands for astronimcal unit - the average distance between
Earth & the Sun). Fill in the table below by determining the
minimum diameter the objective of a telescope would need to be in
order to resolve the planet from the star at the stated
wavelengths. 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m & 1...
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is defined as one "astronomical unit" (AU). An asteroid orbits the Sun in one-third of a year. What is the asteroids average distance from the Sun? 0.19 AU 0.43 AU o 21 AU 5.2 AU Many comets orbit the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. What happens over time to the comet's angular momentum? It continually increases. It continually decreases. It remains constant It increases during some parts of the orbit and...
A previously undiscovered planet B is estimated to have a period of rotation (around the Sun) of 100 Earth years. Using Kepler’s third law, calculate its average distance from the Sun. Which known planet’s orbit is closest to this planet B? If a planetary body G is 100 AU distance away from the Sun, its period of rotation in Earth years (assuming it is still gravitationally tied to our sun) will be:__________________________ PLEASE SHOW WORK AND EXPLAIN STEPS.
6. A planet orbits the sun with a period of 12 years. How far is the planet from the sun?(G 6.67x10-1Nm2/kg2 and Mgun 199x100xg) meters
A comet orbits the Sun in 4,063 years. What is its average orbital distance from the Sun? Express your answer in AU (enter "AU" for units) and round it to the nearest integer А. An asteroid orbits the Sun at an average orbital distance of 3.12 AU. What is its average orbital period? Express your answer in years (enter "years" for units) and round it to two decimals. В. A moon orbits a planet in 1.5 days. What is the...
Once there was a proposed planet called Vulcan (no reference to Star Trek) located a distance of 0.14 AU from the Sun. 1. Draw a picture to scale of the orbits of the planets, including Vulcan, out to the orbit of Mars 2. What would be the period of orbit of Vulcan?
