What do you see in this image that indicates this planet formed far from the Sun?
One way to recognize a distant planet is by its motion along its orbit. If Uranus circles the Sun in 84 years, how many arc seconds will it move in 24 hours? (For the purposes of this problem, ignore the motion of Earth.)
Venus has an average distance to the sun of 0.723 AU. How do you calculate the orbital period of venus, and then calculate it
Let's use Kepler's laws for the inner planets. Use the following distances from the sun to calculate the orbital period for each of these planets. Express your answer in terms of Earth years to two significant figures. Note: Use Kepler's law directly. Don't just Google the answers, as they will be a little bit different. When you have calculated them, only submit the value for Mercury.

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.
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.
1. The diameter of the Sun is equal to 1.392*10^9 m, and the distance from the Sun to Saturnis equal to 9.5 AU. Suppose you want to build an exact scale model of the solar system,and you are using a volleyball with average diameter of 21 cm to represent the Sun. a) In your scale model, how far away would Saturn be from the Sun? Give your answer inmeters.b) The actual diameter of Saturn is 116,460 km. What would be Saturn’s diameter in yourscale model? Give your answer in centimeters.
