- The planet Saturn orbits the Sun at an average distance of 888 million miles. Use Kepler’s 3rd law to find the period of Saturn’s orbit, in Earth years.You land on Mars and observe that one of its moons (Phobos) has an orbital period of 7.66 hours. If the Phobos were farther from Mars than it is now, it’s period would be a) less than 7.66 hrs. b) about 7.66 hrs. c) more than 7.66 hrs. d) difficult to predict without more information.The asteroid Icarus has a perihelion distance of 0.19 AU, an orbital eccentricity of 0.83 and semi major axis of 1.12 AU. What is its aphelion distance from the Sun?
- Suppose astronomers discover a new planet which orbits the Sun with an orbital radius 11 times that of the Earth How long, in years, will it take to orbit the sun?A new mystery planet is detected around our Sun. We measure it’s position relative to the Sun to be 2 AU at perihelion and 6 AU at aphelion. What is the semi-major axis of this planet’s orbit (in AU)? With that information, what is the orbital period of that planet(in years)?A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planet's equator, is put in circular orbit around Mars so that scientists can study a surface feature.

- 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.SnowT is an exoplanet orbiting star 27 Kood.

- Until recently, the term "planet" had no clear-cut definition. In August of 2006, leading astronomers established new guidelines and declared that Pluto is no longer a planet. Which of the following is either false or least consistent with the new guidelines? Group of answer choices Pluto is by far the largest known object in the Kuiper belt, while Eris is the largest known object in the asteroid belt. A planet must have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. Pluto is automatically disqualified from being a planet because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's. A planet must have sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a nearly round shape. Pluto and the asteroid Ceres are both now classified as dwarf planets.A planet makes 15 orbits in 60 days, what is the period of the planet is seconds?The satellites that transmit information used in GPS receivers orbit Earth at a distance of 26,570 km from the planet's center.
