- Suppose there were a planet in our Solar System orbiting at a distance of 0.5 AU from theSun, and having ten times the mass and four times the radius of Earth. For reference, theEarth has a mass of 5.97 × 1024 kg and a radius of 6,378 km a) Calculate the density of this hypothetical planet.b) Based on your answer from part a), what do you think this planet would be made of?Explain your reasoning.c) Do this planet’s properties agree with the condensation theory for the formation of ourSolar System? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPlease solve accurate and exact please please this is impo Please fast!! I'll rate it up if fast and accurate. Thanksarrow_forwardWe need to create a scale model of the solar system (by shrinking the sun down to the size of a basketball or ~30cm). First, we will need to scale down actual solar system dimensions (planet diameters and average orbital radiuses) by converting our units. There are two blank spaces in the table below. We will effectively fill in the missing data in the next set of questions. Use the example below to help you. Example: What is the scaled diameter of Mercury if the Sun is scaled to the size of a basketball (30 cm)? The actual diameter of Mercury is 4879 km The Sun's diameter is 1392000 km If the Sun is to be reduced to the size of a basketball, then the conversion we need for this equation will be: 30cm1392000km Here is how we run the conversion: 4879km×30cm1392000km=0.105cm or 0.11cm if we were to round our answer. This means that if the sun in our model is the size of a basketball, Mercury is the size of a grain of sand. We can also see by looking at the table, that we would…arrow_forward
