The semi-major axis of Callisto's orbit around Jupiter is 0.013 AU. The period of its orbit is 0.046 years. What is Jupiter's mass? A. 0.00029 solar masses B. 0.0010 solar masses C. 0.58 solar masses D. 1.7 solar masses E. 960 solar masses
Now M is the sum of the two masses in units of the solar mass .e. the mass of our Sun), while a is still in AU and P in years. An important application of Newton's generalization of Kepler's third law is being able to dete mine mass of a central body based on the motion of a satellite around that body. If the satellite is much less massive than the body it's orbiting, then M is essentially equal to...
I want to have a code that can pick whichever two planets in the
solar system and find the distance of them no matter where in their
orbit they are, but I keep getting errors. Can someone please help
me fix it?

Mercury’s orbit has a semi‐major axis of 0.387 AU. a. What is the semi‐major axis of the aberration ellipse for any star from Mercury’s orbit (arcseconds)? [You may use the mass of the Sun as 1.99×1030 kg and assume Mercury is in a circular orbit.] b. Calculate the period (yr) of the aberration orbit?
Neptune orbits the Sun with a period of 164.8 years. The average distance in kilometers (or the semi-major axis) of Neptune from the Sun is: a) 30 AU b) 4.5 × 109
A star has a mass of 3 solar masses (3 times the mass of the Sun). If a planet is 1 AU from this star, should its orbit be more or less than 1 Earth year? Explain why or why not. (show work) You see a planet that takes 1 year to orbit its star, but the planet averages 10 AU from its star. Explain what this tells you about the star.
A comet in orbit around the sun has an orbital eccentricity 0.4 and semi-major axis 6 AU. What is the comet's furthest distance from the Sun in AU?
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical compared to the planets in our Solar System. It has a perihelion distance of 29.7 AU and an aphelion distance of 49.5 AU. a) What is the semi-major axis of Pluto's orbit, in AU? b) What is Pluto's orbital period, in Earth years?

Chapter 13, Problem 071 Several planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are encircled by rings, perhaps composed of material that failed to form a satellite. In addition, many galaxies contain ring-like structures Consider a homogeneous thin ring of mass 3.2 x 1022 kg and outer radius 3.5 x 10 m (the figure). (a) What gravitational attraction does it exert on a partide of mass 57 kg located on the ring's central axis a distance 6.1 x 10 m from the ring center?...
