- Astronomers are able to use techniques like measuring the Question Blank 1 of 2 (hint: two words) of a surface to determine the relative age of various parts of that surface. However, if they want a(n) Question Blank 2 of 2 (hint: one word) age of the surface, they need to collect surface samples and then radiometrically date them to get a more exact measurement.There is one part to this question. The answer is not 5.841. Please help!Use the small-angle formula to calculate the angular diameter (in degrees) of Saturn (including its rings) (diameter = 9.64 ✕ 105 km) as seen from Earth if Saturn were at the location of the Moon (distance = 384,000 km).
- Mercury's solar day is longer than its solar year. (T/F)Venus can be as bright as apparent magnitude −4.7 when at a distance of about 1 AU. How many times fainter would Venus look from a distance of 7 pc? Assume Venus has the same illumination phase from your new vantage point. (Hints: Recall the inverse square law; also, review the definition of apparent visual magnitudes. Note: 1 pc = 2.1 ✕ 105 AU). [fill in the blank] times fainter What would its apparent magnitude be?The scale bar on a map shows that 2 cm is equivalent to 500 km on earth. If two seismometers are 3.5 cm apart on the map, what distance apart are they on earth (in km)?
- Enceladus is a moon of Saturn. What unique feature does it possess? which is the correct answer? Cryovolcanism, where water erupts instead of silicate rock A dense system of rings An atmosphere thicker than Earth's Internal heating due to radioactivity Has an orbit inside Saturn's ringsAt 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?Phobos, one of Mars’ moons, is very slowly spiraling down towards the planet. Do you think that Mars will one day have rings? Explain your reasoning,
- equattion : S/4 (1- a) = f*sigma*TS4 Solar Constant (W/m2) S = 1361 How sensitive is the temperature of the earth to changes in the atmospheric transmissivity (f)? The atmosphere is more transmissive (lets more radiation through) when CO2 and other greenhouse gases are lower. During the pre-industrial period, transmissivity (f) was probably around 62% (f = 0.62) and has been decreasing. Calculate how much the Earth's surface temperature would change if the transmissivity changes by ±0.01 (to 0.60 or to 0.62). ___ °C per 1% transmissivity change.How deep would be the eclipse caused by Jupiter transiting in front of the Solar disk, as observed from a distant star?The angular diameter and distance of the Moon are 31 minutes of arc and 384,400 km.
