- I have submitted this question 4 times and the responses have all been wrong. Please put your best person on this. I have tried 19.9923, 20.6, and 20.69 for part 1 and those are all wrong and I have tried 14.1122, 14.80, 8.41781, and 14.87 for part 2 and those are all wrong too. Please help! I'm wasting questions!At its closest approach to Earth, Mars is 57.50 million kilometers away. How long (in minutes) would a radio signal sent from a future manned mission to Mars take to travel to Earth? (distance = speed x time) [55]When the Earth passes directly between the Sun and Mars, the Earth and Mars are closest to each other. If Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun and there are 1.5 x 108 km in 1 AU, how many times will the width of the U.S. (2,530 miles) fit end-to-end between Mars and Earth? Planets and Sun not drawn to scale. Mars Earth Sun Part 1 of 4 Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun. How many times further away from the Sun is Mars than the Earth? (The distances in AU are relative to the distance between the Sun and the Earth, so however many AU a planet is away from the Sun is how many times farther it is from Sun than Earth.) 1.52✔ 1.52 times further away
- The planetarium is making a scale model of the solar system. If they use a basketball to represent the sun. How far from the basketball should the earth be?On August 27, 2003, the planet Mars was at a distance of 0.373 AU from Earth. The diameter of Mars is 6788 km. Calculate the angular diameter of Mars, as seen from Earth on August 27, 2003. Give your answer in arcminutes.What is the surface gravity (local acceleration) of a planet with a mass of (3.5×1024kg) that has a radius of (2.2×106m)?
- How many orders of magnitude do you need to grow in spatial scale (size) to form a planet? Let's take the extreme ends of this scale, from a dust particle of radius a = 10-6m to the gas giant Jupiter (you can round up its radius to the nearest ten to keep it simple). What else has this difference in order of magnitude? Maybe pick something that's not a length scale. Be creative!At an average opposition, the Earth and Mars are separated by 0.52 AU. Suppose an astronomer observes Mars at opposition and that seeing blurs the images to a resolution of 1.0 seconds of arc. What is the smallest surface feature the astronomer would be able to resolve on Mars? How does this size compare with the diameter of Mars?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. If the planet’s orbital period is 3.75 days and 27 Kood's constant is 2.9X10^-19 s^2/m^3, what is SnowT orbital radius?Galileo's telescopes were not of high quality by modern standards. He was able to see the moons of Jupiter, but he never reported seeing features on Mars. Use the small-angle formula to find the angular diameter of Mars when it is closest to Earth. How does that compare with the maximum angular diameter of Jupiter? (Assume circular orbits with radii equal to the average distance from the Sun. Using the following distances from the Sun: Mars is 228 million km, Jupiter is 778 million km, and Earth is 150 million km. The radius of Mars is 3396 km. The radius of Jupiter is 71,492 km.) angular diameter of Mars = ( )seconds of arc angular diameter of Jupiter =( )seconds of arc ratio of angular diameters (Jupiter/Mars) = ( )What is the angular diameter of Saturn (in arc seconds) as seen from Earth when the two planets are farthest apart?
