1. Consider our Sun - it is in orbit around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The velocity of the Sun in its orbit is about 250 km/s. The distance to the center of the galaxy is about 9.1 kpc (kiloparsecs). We can use Kepler's third law to calculate the mass of the galaxy interior to the Sun's orbit. We assume that the orbit is circular so that the semimajor axis is just the radius of the circular orbit = 9.1 kpc. First we need to calculate the number of AU's in 9.1 kpc. (Note that 1 Крс - 1000 рс - 3260 1t yrs and 1 pc - 206,265 AU.) %3D a =r =9.1kpc = (9.1kpc) 1000 pc 206,265AU] 1kpc AU Sun 1pc

17 Which of the following statements about parallax is not true? A You can demonstrate parallax simply by holding up a finger and looking at it alternately from your left and right eyes. B C D The existence of stellar parallax is direct proof that Earth orbits the Sun. Measurement of stellar parallax allows us to determine distances to nearby stars. The technique of stellar parallax was used by Hubble to determine that the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) is about 2 million light-years away. Ancient astronomers were unable to measure parallax and used the absence of observed parallax as an argument in favor of an Earth-centered universe.
One of our closest stars is our Sun, duh. If the distance from Earth to our Sun is 1.56e-05 light-years, how quickly is that star travelling away from us? [Note that Hubble's Constant is roughly 70 km/s/Mpc and 1 light-year is roughly 3.07E-7 Mpc.] m/s
