- Part 3 1. The diameter of the Sun is 1,391,400 km. The diameter of the Moon is 3,474.8 km. Find the ratio, r= Dsa/Dsvan between the sizes. 2. From the point of view of an obs erver on Eanth (consider the Earth as a point-like object), during the eclipse, the Moon covers the Sun exactly. Sketch a picture to illustrate this fact. Use a nuler to get a straight line. Your drawing does not need to be in scale. 3. The Sun is 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) away from the Earth. Find the distance between the Earth and the Moon in AU's using the ratio of similar triangles. Show your work. DEM= AU. Convert this to kilometers. Use 1 AU = 149,600,000 km. DEM = km.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? ExplainRead this main idea: The sun is the center of our solar system. Choose three details that go with the main idea. The sun's gravity holds the planets in place. It provides them with heat and light. The largest stars, called supergiants, are 1,500 times bigger than our sun. It takes Earth 365 days to orbit the sun. Jupiter takes 12 years! Our sun is not the largest or hottest star. It is a medium sized yellow star. Radio telescopes use radio waves to show stars in great detail. Astronomers long ago and today use star charts to map star locations. All of the planets in our solar system revolve around one star-our sun. Stars can be blue, white, yellow, or red. Blue stars are the hottest. A reflector telescope bounces star light through mirrors.
- In 3–5 sentences, explain how the shape of planetary orbits affects their orbital velocity. Include the proper law of planetary motion as part of your answer. In 3–5 sentences, explain how the shape of planetary orbits affects their orbital velocity. Include the proper law of planetary motion as part of your answer.If we view a star now, and then view it again 6 months later, our position will have changed by the diameter of the Earth's orbit around the sun. For nearby stars (within 100 light-years or so), the change in viewing location is sufficient to make the star appear to be in a slightly different location in the sky. Half of the angle from one location to the next is known as the parallax angle (see figure). Parallax can be used to measure the distance to the star. An approximate relationship is given by d = 3.26 p , where d is the distance in light-years, and p is the parallax measured in seconds of arc. Vega is a star that has a parallax angle of 0.13 second. How far is Vega from the sun? Note: Parallax is used not only to measure stellar distances. Our binocular vision actually provides the brain with a parallax angle that it uses to estimate distances to objects we see. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) light-years(a) The distance to a star is approximately 7.80 1018 m. If this star were to burn out today, in how many years would we see it disappear? years (b) How long does it take for sunlight to reach Saturn?

[answer in arc-seconds without including the unit]15: A star has a parallax angle of 0.0270 arcseconds and an apparent magnitude of 4.641. What is the distance to this star? Answer: 37 16: What is the absolute magnitude of this star? Answer:1.8 17: Is this star more or less luminous than the Sun? Answer "M" for More luminous or "L" for Less luminous. (HINT: the absolute magnitude of the Sun is 4.8) Answer: M 18: What is the luminosity of this star? (HINT: The luminosity of the Sun is 3.85×1026 W.) Please answer question #18, #15-17 are correct, the photos provide the work for them.Using the center-of-mass equations or the Center of Mass Calculator (under Binary-Star Basics, above), you will investigate a specific binary-star system. Assume that Star 1 has m₁ = 3.4 solar masses, Star 2 has m₂ = 1.4 solar masses, and the total separation of the two (R) is 52 AU. (One AU is Earth's average distance from the Sun.)
