The following diagrams are the same as those from Part A. This time, rank the planets from left to right based on the amount of time it takes each to complete one orbit, from longest to shortest. If you think that two (or more) of the diagrams should be ranked as equal, drag one on top of the other(s) to show this equality. (Distances are to scale, but planet and star sizes are not.)

The following diagrams are the same as those from Parts A and B. This time, rank the planets from left to right based on their average orbital speed, from fastest to slowest.

Orbits of four different planets around the same star are shown.
The masses of the planets, expressed in terms of the mass M of the
smallest planet, can be found in the included table, while the
relative sizes of the orbits can be determined from the diagram.
Assume that the mass of the star is much larger than the mass of
the planets. Rank the period T of the four orbits, from longest to
shortest.

A resonance orbit is one in which planets have a fixed ratio of orbital periods. For example, for 2 planets with an orbital resonance of 3:1, the outer planet's orbital period would be 3 times that of the inner one. That is, the inner planet can complete 3 exact orbits whilst the outer one completes only one. This is a special type of orbital "locking". The two planets orbiting the nearby star are observed to be in a 2:1 resonance...

In recent years, scientists have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Some of these planets are in orbits that are similar to that of earth, which orbits the sun (Msun = 1.99 × 1030 kg) at a distance of 1.50 × 1011 m, called 1 astronomical unit (1 au). Others have extreme orbits that are much different from anything in our solar system. The following problem relates to one of these planets that follows circular orbit around its star....

For the following, quote your numerical answers to two significant figures: a) A binary system consists of two stars orbiting a common center of mass. Star A is a white star of mass MA = 2.02Mo, where Mo = 1.989 x 1030 kg is the mass of the Sun. Its companion, Star B, is a white dwarf with mass Mg = 0.978M. The orbital period of the two objects is observed to be t = 50.09 years. What is the...

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....
