Gaia will have greatly improved precision over the measurements of Hipparcos. The average uncertainty for most Gaia parallaxes will be about 50 microarcsec, or 0.00005 arcsec. How many times better than Hipparcos (see Exercise 19.32) is this precision?
How many of the atoms in Question (3 is the pic i sent) can fit within a spherical planet with a diameter of 2 X 104 km?
A 1.00-m2 solar panel on a satellite that keeps the panel oriented perpendicular to radiation arriving from the Sun absorbs 1.40 kJ of energy every second. The satellite is located at 1.00 AU from the Sun. (The Earth-Sun distance is approximately 1.00 AU.) How long would it take an identical panel that is also oriented perpendicular to the incoming radiation to absorb the same amount of energy, if it were on an interplanetary exploration vehicle 2.05 AU from the Sun? answer in seconds
What diameter telescope is needed to resolve the separation between an Earth-like planet and its star at 550 nm if the linear separation between them is 1 AU and the star system is 1 pc from Earth?

1- MODIS is an Earth Observation sensor onboard TERRA spacecraft flying in a near-polar circular orbit with an orbital period of 98.8 minutes. The width of the swath imaged by MODIS is 2330 km. A- How many orbits does TERRA trace in one day? B- Assuming that the Earth rotates around its polar axis at a rate of 0.2618 rd/hr and that the equatorial radius is 6378 km, do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at the equator? (hint: the length of an arc = angle in rd * radius) C- The radius of the latitude circle at 35 deg is 5224.5 km. Do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at latitude 35 deg? 2- An aerostationary orbit for Mars is equivalent to a geostationary orbit for Earth. It is designed to enable a satellite in that orbit to image always the same surface of Mars. Calculate the altitude of an aerostationary orbit assuming that Mars is spherical, that its sidereal rotational period is 1.02595676 Earth days, its equatorial radius is 3389.50 km and its mass is…
