Question 6: (a.) The asteroid Vesta orbits the Sun with a semi-major axis of 2.362 AU. It has a rotational period of about 5 hr 21 min and an albedo of 0.38 (unusually reflective for an asteroid). (a) Estimate Vesta's surface temperature (b) Estimate what Vesta's surface temperature would be if it were instead tidally locked with the Sun so that it always kept the same side facing the Sun. State at what point on the planet this temperature is...

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)
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...
