- Some astronomers argue that Jupiter and Saturn areunusual, while other astronomers argue that all solarsystems should contain one or two such giant planets.A small cloud in Jupiter's equatorial region is observed to be at 120.80 ° west longitude in a coordinate system that rotates at the same rate as the deep interior of the planet. Another observation made exactly 9.50 Earth hours later finds the cloud at 119.60 ° west longitude. Jupiter's equatorial radius is 71,500 km. What is the observed equatorial wind speed in kilometers per hour?How would the solar system be different if the solar nebula had cooled, with a temperature half its actual value? [select all that apply] options: There would be more comets. Life would have been very unlikely to evolve here. There would be no comets. There would be fewer asteroids. There would be more asteroids. Jovian planets would have formed closer to Sun. Terrestrial planets would be large
- The Solar Nebula model introduces the concept of ‘frost line’. Where are asteroids and comets found with respect to this frost line? How is their location connected to their composition?What is the escape velocity from the surface of Callisto if its mass is 1.1 x 1023 kg and its radius is 2.4 × 10° km? ( Hint: Use the formula for escape 2GM velocity, V. = V r X km/sImagine that you visit a planet orbiting another star and discover that it is heavily cratered, but its small moon is nearly crater free. Why would that be a surprise? Speculate what might have happened to those objects.
- 1The transit method is used to detected exoplanets by measuring the reduced starlight caused by the planet passing in front of its host star. Say you measure multiple transits of the same exoplanet. What does the time in between the transits represent? Group of answer choices - Orbital period - Semi-major axis - Ecentricity - Planet's massIn the Transit method for detecting exoplanets, how many dips of light from the star need to be detected for it to be a successful detection of an exoplanet?
