- State the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units. Convert your answer for the value of the distance of a parsec in Astronomical Units into light years. Be sure to include a large and clearly labeled diagram showing how you arrived at your conclusions. Be sure to show all work!arrow_forwardFor each of the following parts, find the most possible type of object by considering the descriptions, and explain your answer. Each part is independent. The possible types are red giant, galaxy, planetary system, planet, dwarf planet, red dwarf, white dwarf, brown dwarf, satellite, asteroid, comet, protostar 2 star, star cluster, galaxy cluster, supercluster, emission nebula, reflection nebula, dark nebula (a) This object moves around the Sun. The nearest distance to the Sun is 0.5 AU, and the farthest distance from the Sun is 1000 AU. (b) This object is red in colour. The density is much lower than that of a star. (c) The mass of this object is the same as that of the Sun. It does not fuse hydrogen. (d) This object moves in a circular orbit about the Sun. Its orbit is between those of Mars and Jupiter. It is round in shape. (e) This object burns hydrogen in a region surrounding its helium core.arrow_forwardThe time it takes for a cloud 106,000 AU in radius to collapse in "free-tall to form a new star is half the time it would take for an object to orbit the star on an extremely elliptical orbit with a semimajor axis of 53,000 AU (half the 106.000 AU radius). Part A Use Kepler's third law to find the collapse time, assuming the star has the same mass as the Sun. Express your answer in years to two significant figures.
