Consider a star at a distance of 100 light years from the Earth and is movingrelative to the Earth at a constant velocity of 70000 km/hr perpendicular to its lineof sight from the Earth. What is the change of its angular position on our skywhen viewed by us now and by the ancient Egyptian 6000 years ago? Ignore allother effect, e.g., the axial precession of the Earth.1.(A)0.24 arcsecond(В)13 arcminutes(C)0.5 degree(D)2.6 degrees(E)5.0 degrees

In the 19th century, measurements of the precession of the orbits of the planets in the solarsystem were performed, and preformed to a new standard of precision that allowedpredictions to be made from deviations from gravitational theory. Newtonian gravitationwas sufficient to predict the precession in most of the planets, but Mercury’s precession wasanomalous: the long axis of its elliptical orbit changes direction by 43”/century (arcsecondsper tropical century) faster than the expected speed. One theory that was created to explainthis effect was that there was an “anti-Earth” called Vulcan that orbited the sun exactlyopposite the Earth. 1 If this theory had been correct, how much different would the orbit of the Earth be fromwhat it is today? Express your answer in terms of the ratio of the difference of the predictedperiod of the Earth with and without Vulcan to the period of the Earth without thehypothetical planet. Some assumptions will be necessary to get a nice answer:(i) Do not…

On February 28, 2010, Earth was equidistant from the spacecraft Dawn and the Sun, forming an isosceles triangle. The distance from Earth to Dawn and Earth to the Sun was 0.99 AU (astronomical units). The distance from Dawn to the Sun was 1.84 AU. a) Draw a diagram to show Dawn, Earth, and the Sun. b) Determine the angle between the sight lines from Earth to Dawn and the Sun.

The Earth is about 12,000 km in diameter. It is therefore how many orders of magnitude wider than you are tall? (i.e., the Earth’s diameter is how many times larger than your height (give an order-of-magnitude estimate)?) (I am 5'2")
