A comet orbits the Sun in 4,063 years. What is its average orbital distance from the Sun? Express your answer in AU (enter "AU" for units) and round it to the nearest integer А. An asteroid orbits the Sun at an average orbital distance of 3.12 AU. What is its average orbital period? Express your answer in years (enter "years" for units) and round it to two decimals. В. A moon orbits a planet in 1.5 days. What is the...
An imaginary planet takes about 3 years to orbit the Sun. Based on Kepler's laws, what is the semi-major axis of its orbit (average distance from the Sun) in AU (astronomical units)?
Venus orbits the Sun with a period of 0.6152 years. What is its average distance (in AU) from the Sun? (Round your answer to at least four significant figures.)
In Lecture 4, we discussed Kepler’s third law relatingthe orbital period of a planet (p) to the semi-major axis (orbital distance, a) of its orbit(p2= a3). We can apply this law as long the object orbits the Sun or another object of the same mass, and the units of orbital period are in (Earth) years and the orbital distance is in Astronomical Units(AU). [1AU is equal to the distance between the Earth and the Sun]. [Note: Newton extended this law...
1. An object is orbiting around the planet Quakers with an average distance of 75,000 km. The value of "k" - 6.9 x 10" (units of days and km). What is the orbital period in days? 2. If an object has an orbital period of 85 years and is at an average distance of 24 AU from the object it orbits, what is the value of "k"? 3. If an object is orbiting the Sun with an orbital period of...
A previously undiscovered planet B is estimated to have a period of rotation (around the Sun) of 100 Earth years. Using Kepler’s third law, calculate its average distance from the Sun. Which known planet’s orbit is closest to this planet B? If a planetary body G is 100 AU distance away from the Sun, its period of rotation in Earth years (assuming it is still gravitationally tied to our sun) will be:__________________________ PLEASE SHOW WORK AND EXPLAIN STEPS.
the earth's distance from the sun is 1 astronomical unit (1 AU) and it orbits the sun in 1 year. if an asteroid orbits the sun in 4.6 years, what is the radius of its orbit (in AU)? (Hint: use kepler's 3rd law)
6. A planet orbits the sun with a period of 12 years. How far is the planet from the sun?(G 6.67x10-1Nm2/kg2 and Mgun 199x100xg) meters
A comet orbits the Sun with a period of 67.41 years. The comet’s distance of closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) is 1.239 AU. What is the maximum distance of the comet from the Sun (aphelion)? Give your answer in AU.
A new planet is discovered orbiting our sun at a distance of 5.7 AU. An AU (astronomical unit), is defined as the distance from the sun to the earth, or 149.6 million kilometers. How many days would a year on this new planet be?
