Comet Halley (Fig. P11.21) approaches the Sun to within 0.570 AU, and its orbital period is 75.6 yr. (AU is the symbol for astronomical unit, where 1 AU = 1.50 1011 m is the mean EarthSun distance.) How far from the Sun will Halleys comet travel before it starts its return journey?
Respond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value. (c) If two identical planets, each with surface gravity g and volume V, coalesce into one planet with volume 2V, the surface gravity of the new planet is 2g. (d) One kilogram of gold would have greater value on Earth than on the Moon.
(a) One of the moons of Jupiter, named Io, has an orbital radius of 4.22 108 m and a period of 1.77 days. Assuming the orbit is circular, calculate the mass of Jupiter, (b) The largest moon of Jupiter, named Ganymede, has an orbital radius of 1.07 109 m and a period of 7.16 days. Calculate the mass of Jupiter from this data, (c) Are your results to parts (a) and (b) consistent? Explain.
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?

Attached is the question. He gave us the equation. I am just confused on where to find "M" earth mass?
Astronomical observations of our milky way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8x1011 solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 5.6x104 light years from its center. a.) What should be the orbital period (in years) of that star be? b.) If its period is 6.4x107 years instead, what is the mass (in solar masses) of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the center of some galaxies.
Neptune orbits the Sun with an orbital radius of 4.495 x 10^12 m. If the earth to sun distance 1A.U. = 1.5 x 10^11 m, a) Determine how many A.U.'s is Neptune's orbital radius (Round to the nearest tenth). b) Given the Sun's mass is 1.99 x10^30 kg, use Newton's modified version of Kepler's formula T^2 = (4pi^2/Gm(star)) x d^3 to find the period in seconds using scientific notation. (Round to the nearest thousandth). C) Convert the period in part b) to years (Round to the nearest tenth)
