- What is the orbital period of a scattered disk object with perihelion at 40 AU and aphelion at 100 AU? ( 2Phobos, one of Mars’ moons, is very slowly spiraling down towards the planet. Do you think that Mars will one day have rings? Explain your reasoning,How deep would be the eclipse caused by Jupiter transiting in front of the Solar disk, as observed from a distant star?
- If you were to record the spectrum of Saturn as well as the A ring, you would find light from one edge of the rings redshifted and light from the other edge blueshifted. If you observed a spectral line at a wavelength of 505 nm, what difference in wavelength (in nm) should you expect between the opposite edges of the rings? (Hints: The radius of the edge of the A ring is 136,500 km. Use the formula for orbital velocity,What is the Kuiper belt?If you were to record the spectrum of Saturn as well as the A ring, you would find light from one edge of the rings redshift and light from the other edge blueshift.
