QUESTION 1 Estimate The Temperature For A Planet In Other Solar System (Questions 1-3) Let us assume scientists just discovered a planet orbiting a star in an extra-solar system. The star has a surface temperature Ts = 10000 Kelvins and a radius Sr = 1x109 meters. Scientists also measured the distance (D) between the star and the planet as D=2 AU - 3.0x10¹1 meters. The solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps) can be calculated from the star's surface temperature Ts (10000 Kelvins) by the Stefen-Boltzman law Ps=0(Ts)4, where a is Stefen-Boltzman constant (5.67 x 10-8 Watt/meter2/Kelvin4). What is the solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps)? Ps~ 2.87 x 108 Watt/meter² O Ps~ 5.67 x 108 Watt/meter² O Ps~ 2.87 x 10 Watt/meter2 O Ps~ 5.67 x 10 Watt/meter2 QUESTION 2 The solar power (Ps) decreases from the star's surface to the distance at the planet. Assuming the solar power per unit area at the distance of the planet as Pp, we have Pp=Ps(Sr/D)2, where Sr is the radius of the star (1 x meters) and D is the distance between the star and the planet (-3.0x 1011 meters). With the calculated solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps) in Question 1, please estimate the solar power per unit area at distance of the planet (Pp). 0 Pp 3.15 x 102 Watt/meter² O Pp~ 6.30 x 102 Watt/meter2 Pp~3.15 x 103 Watt/meter² 0 Pp~ 6.30 x 103 Watt/meter2
