I would like you to compare the size of some of the largest moons of the solar system to their host planets. Using diameters of 12,700 km, and 140,000 km, 116,000 km for Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn respectively, please provide the ratios of the following moons to their host planets (you can use Table 12.1 from the book to get the diameters of the moons): Luna (Earth's moon), Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Titan. After collecting those ratios, please tell me one thing that you notice that stands out about those results.
What is the orbital period of asteroid X as calculated from Kepler’s law?
From the data measured read off the period, P and the orbital radius, a from thegraph for the moon Ganymede . These values will have units of hours for the period P, and Jupiter Diameters (J.D.) for a. Enter your results here:P (period) = _________ hours a (orbital radius) = ________ J.D. After,In order to use Kepler's Third Law, you need to convert the period into years, using: 1 day = 24 hours and 1 year = 365.25 days. The orbital radius must be converted to A.U., using 1050 J.D. = 1 A.U. Enter your converted values here: P (period) = _________ years a (orbital radius) = ________ A.U.
