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?

A planet is discovered to orbit around a star in the galaxy Andromeda, with the same orbital diameter as the Earth around our Sun. If that star has 4 times the mass of our Sun, what will the period of revolution of that new planet be, compared to the Earth's orb o One-fourth as much o One-half as much Twice as much A. Four times much The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is defined as one "astronomical...
In recent years, scientists have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Some of these planets are in orbits that are similar to that of earth, which orbits the sun (Msun = 1.99 × 1030 kg) at a distance of 1.50 × 1011 m, called 1 astronomical unit (1 au). Others have extreme orbits that are much different from anything in our solar system. The following problem relates to one of these planets that follows circular orbit around its star....
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...
The average Earth-Sun distance is 1.00 astronomical unit (AU). At how many AUs from the Sun is the intensity of sunlight 1/81 the intensity at the Earth? AU
A planet was discovered orbiting a star at a distance of 2870 million km with an orbital period of about 84 years (1 year = 365.25 days). What is the mass of the star?
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is defined as one "astronomical unit" (AU). An asteroid orbits the Sun in one-third of a year. What is the asteroids average distance from the Sun? 0.19 AU 0.43 AU o 21 AU 5.2 AU Many comets orbit the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. What happens over time to the comet's angular momentum? It continually increases. It continually decreases. It remains constant It increases during some parts of the orbit and...
Tau Ceti is a star that is located 11.753 ly away. There
is a planet orbiting this star with an orbital radius of 0.538 AU
(AU stands for astronimcal unit - the average distance between
Earth & the Sun). Fill in the table below by determining the
minimum diameter the objective of a telescope would need to be in
order to resolve the planet from the star at the stated
wavelengths. 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m & 1...
3. The following table comes from an article "7 Earth-sized planets circle nearby star," from Science News, March 18, 2017.

A new planet has been discovered that has a mass one-ninth that of Earth and a radius that is eight times that of Earth. Determine the free fall acceleration on the surface of this planet. Express your answer in the appropriate mks units. A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 10 AU and takes 198 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of...
SCADO 10. A certain planet orbits the Sun with a period of 84 years. What is its distance from the Sun in Astronomical Units? (1 AU = the average distance between the Earth and the Sun)
