Question #1:
Which evidence first supported the heliocentric model of the solar
system?
A. mapping of stars using the unaided eye
B. taking pictures of distant galaxies with satellite-based cameras
C. determining that planets orbit in elliptical paths with telescopes
D. observing the surface features of nearby planets and moons
with telescopes
Conclusion(s) and evidence from investigation:
1. What is the relationship between mass and gravity?
2. How is mass and gravity relevant to the formation of the solar system? (think about the sun)
3. Describe the shape of the solar system.
4. Describe the composition (what it is made of) of the solar system.
5. Describe the revolution (orbit) of the solar system.
6. Identify an anomaly (doesn't match the rest) in the data and propose an explanation for it.
7. What were some patterns you found in the columns? List at least 2.
8. Which is the best evidence that the solar system was created from accretion?
Explain why. (There may be more than 1!)
Question 1 (Total: 30 points)
a. What is a repeat ground-track orbit?
b. Explain why repeat ground-track and Sun-synchronous orbits are typically used for Earth observation missions.
c. The constraint for a Sun-synchronous and repeat ground-track orbit is given by T = 286, 400, where I is the orbital period in seconds, m the number of days and k
the number of revolutions. Explain why this is, in fact, a constraint on the semi-major axis of the orbit.
