As observed from Earth, the Sun has an angular size of about 0.53o. From the observation, estimate the diameter of the Sun. How large in volume is the Sun when compared to Earth?
Our solar system is approximately 10 billion km across. This diameter can be also be expressed as: 10 x 10⁹ km 1010 km 1013 m All of the above. Both a and b are correct
What is 4b?
Which of the following is least reasonable regarding the magnitude scale: Group of answer choices The numerical difference between a star's absolute and apparent magnitudes is a measure of the distance to the star. If the Sun were moved to a distance of 10 parsecs, its apparent magnitude would be about 4.8 and it would therefore not be visible to the naked eye. The fact that Sun's absolute magnitude of 4.8 is greater than the Sun's apparent magnitude of -27 implies that the Sun is a lot closer than 10 parsecs. Apparent magnitude measures a star's apparent brightness when viewed at the star's actual distance from the observer. A star's absolute magnitude is its apparent magnitude when viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs.
What is the temperature for an almost completely absorbing dark planet at 1 AU and with a reflectivity of 10.0%?
The diameter of the Sun is 865,380 miles across while Saturn's diameter is 72,368 miles across. The Sun is _____times bigger than Saturn (give whole number as your answer!). If we could shrink Saturn down to a size of a cherry (diameter is 1 inch across), then Sun would be as big as ______. Use one of the following objects as your answer.

Next you will (1) convert your measurement of the semi-major axis from arcseconds to AU, (2) convert your measurement of the period from days to years, and (3) calculate the mass of the planet using Newton's form of Kepler's Third Law. Use Stellarium to find the distance to the planet when Skynet took any of your images, in AU. Answer: 4.322 AU Use this equation to determine a conversion factor from 1 arcsecond to AU at the planet's distance. You will need to convert ? = 1 arcsecond to degrees first. Answer: 2.096e-5 AU (2 x 3.14 x 4.322 x (.000278/360) = 2.096e-5) Next, use this number to convert your measurement of the moon's orbital semi-major axis from arcseconds to AU. A) Calculate a in AU. B) Convert your measurement of the moon's orbital period from days to years. C) By Newton's form of Kepler's third law, calculate the mass of the planet. D) Finally, convert the planet's mass to Earth masses: 1 solar mass = 333,000 Earth masses.
Could you find the Mass of the Sun using the slope of the of T2 versus a3, using the values that are in units of years and AU? Explain
The sun of galaxy X has a diameter of about 796,000 mi with a maximum distance from Planet X's surface of about 78,700,000 mi. Planet X's moon has a diameter of 2,731 mi. For a total solar eclipse to occur, the moon must pass between the sun and Planet X. The moon must also be close enough to Planet X for the moon's umbra (shadow) to reach the surface of Planet X. The maximum distance that the moon can be from Planet X and still have a total solar eclipse occur i (Round to the nearest thousand as needed )
Calculate by how many times Betelgeuse is brighter than the Sun, if its parallax is 0.006 arcsec, and its apparent magnitude is m = +.5. Can you first use the parallax to calculate the distance and then use the magnitude-distance formula to find the absolute magnitude of Betelgeuse and finally, compare it to the absolute magnitude of the Sun which is -26,74 because other experts used other methods and the answer was not correct.
