How many minutes are there in a Sidereal year? A tropical year, or a solar year, is 525948.768 minutes. But what about Sidereal year?
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the answer.

1) The Solar and Sidereal days difer from each other by about 4 minutes. How much distance, relative to the Sun and in km, does the Earth travel during that time? (You may approximate the Earth's orbit as a perfect circle.) 2) How many degrees does the Moon move in its orbit during one Earth-day. Use the Moon's orbital period relative to distant stars, i.e. use its sidereal period. 3) a) Since the Earth makes one full revolution every 24...
If the Earth were to spin backward, how long (in hr;min) would a sidereal day be? Assume that we still define one solar day as 24 hrs.Show the steps of your calculation
3a. A planet that keeps the same hemisphere pointed towards the Sun must rotate once per orbit in the prograde direction. Draw a diagram to demonstrate this fact. The rotational period in an inertial frame, the sidereal day, for such a planet is equal to the orbital period, the length of the solar day on such a planet is infinite (this is known as being tidally locked). b. If a planet rotated once per orbit in the retrograde direction, how...

QUESTION 2 If a hypothetical planet in our Solar System had a sidereal period of 20.6 Earth years and a circular orbit, how far from the Sun in Astronomical Units would it be? Enter your answer to the nearest 0.01 AU.
The Apparent Motion of the Surn The sun rises in the east, moves across the south, and sets in the west much as stars in non-circumpolar constellations do. Just as for the stars, this apparent motion is really due to the rotation of the earth on its axis The Earth's motion around the Sun adds a complication to the Sun's apparent motion. In a full year, or 365 days, the Earth would go completely around the Sun so that the...
A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, "About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknight?" The mean response of the 300 students was x⎯⎯⎯x¯ = 149 minutes. Suppose that we know that the study time follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σσ = 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Use the survey result to give a 96% confidence interval for the mean study time of...
A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, "About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknight?" The mean response of the 250 students was x⎯⎯⎯x¯ = 134 minutes. Suppose that we know that the study time follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σσ = 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Use the survey result to give a 96% confidence interval for the mean study time of...
The sidereal year of a planet is related to the distance of the planet from its sun through a power equation. The following data for a distant solar system show the distances its planets are from their sun and the planets' sidereal years. Complete parts (a) through (d).

The mean response of the 274 students was x ¯ ¯ ¯ x¯ = 144 minutes. Suppose that we know that the studey time follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σ σ = 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Regard these students as an SRS from the population of all...
