In January 2006 astronomers reported the discovery of a planet, comparable in size to the earth, orbiting another star and having a mass about 5.5 times the earth’s mass. It is believed to consist of a mixture of rock and ice, similar to Neptune.

Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?

If a nonhuman civilization were to develop on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, its scientists might well devise a temperature scale based on the properties of methane, which is much more abundant on the surface than water is. Methane freezes at -182.6 °C on Titan, and boils at -155.2 °C. Taking the boiling point of methane as 100.0 °M (degrees Methane) and its freezing point as 0 °M, what temperature on the Methane scale corresponds to the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale, 100 °C? You must show all of the conversion steps.

I keep getting this wrong despite working it out many times. Can I please get some insight on the right approach? A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed ?esc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ?=3.32×106 g/m3 and volume ?=2.40×1012 m3 . Recall that the universal gravitational constant is ?=6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 .
