- Please helpIf there was a planet orbiting a first generation star, which planet in our solar system would it resemble most? Would it be likely for such a planet to have life?The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781, and Neptune, the next planet outward from the Sun, was discovered in 1846. Imagine you're an astronomer in 1846, and you start wondering if there's another planet out beyond Neptune. You decide to try and discover its existence using the same method that was used for Neptune. How will you do this? Group of answer choices You'll recruit a large number of astronomers to use their telescopes to carefully scan the sky in directions that are far from the ecliptic. The regions around the north and south celestial poles will probably be the best "hunting grounds" for the new planet. You'll examine Uranus and Neptune very carefully, on every clear night, for several years, to see if you can find any evidence that sunlight has been reflected off of the `new' planet, then off of Uranus or Neptune, before arriving on Earth. On rare occasions when Neptune passes in front of the Sun, as seen from Earth, you'll look carefully at the Sun (with a safe…
- Out of the inner planets in the solar system (Mercury, Venus and Mar) which do you think is the most likely to be colonized? Explain why?The 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 massPlease please solve accurate and exact answer please.
