Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?

If you observe light reflected from Saturn’s rings, you should see a redshift at one edge of the rings and a blueshift at the other edge. If you observe a spectral line and see a difference in wavelength of 0.0560 nm between opposite edges of the rings, and the unshifted wavelength (observed in the laboratory) is 500. nm, what is the orbital velocity of particles at the outer edge of the rings?
