As a result of his observations, Roemer concluded that eclipses of lo by Jupiter weredelayed by 25.2min during a 6 months period as the Earth moved from the point itsorbit where it is closest to Jupiter to the diametrically opposite point where it isfarthest from Jupiter. Using R= 147.0x106 km as the average radius of the Earth'sorbit around the Sun, calculate the speed of light from these data. State your resultin km/s to the nearest km/s

Given, Average radius of earth R=147×106kmdelayed by =25.2 min=1512s

O None of the magnitudes listed equals the value of the magnitude of the light curve. O This is an intrinsic variable star since it actually pulsates - the radus rhythmically expands and shrinks - much like breathing. O The period is long compared to the other variable stars. O This is an extrinsic vaiable system. A pair of gravitationally bound stars eclipsing each other.
