Which of the following is true in our solar system? 1. The planets travel in a circular path, with the sun being in the very center. 2. The planets travel in an elliptical path, with the sun being in the very center. 3. The planets travel in an elliptical path, with the sun at one of the focus points. 4. The planets travel in a helical path, with the sun located along the central axis.
7. Use Kepler's third law to evaluate the distance of Saturn from the Sun, using the following facts: (1) The period of Saturn is 29.5 years. (2) The Earth's distance to the Sun is 1 AU. (3) The period of the Earth is one year. (The Astronomical Unit (AU) is a measure of distance used in astron- omy.)
Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
