When Sedna was discovered in 2003, it was the most distant object known to orbit the Sun. Currently, it is moving toward the inner solar system. Its period is 10,500 years. Its perihelion distance is 75 AU. a. What is its semimajor axis in astronomical units? b. What is its aphelion distance?
If a planet had an average distance from the Sun of 10 AU, what would its orbital period be?

Why did Greek astronomers conclude that the heavens were made up of perfect crystalline spheres moving at constant speeds?
How did the Ptolemaic model explain retrograde motion?
Tidal friction is slowing the rotation of the Earth. As a result, the orbit of the Moon is increasing in radius at a rate of approximately 4 cm/year. Assuming this to be a constant rate, how many years will pass before the radius of the Moon's orbit increases by 3.84106 m (1%)?
What is the orbital velocity of an Earth satellite 42,230 km from Earth’s center? How long does it take to circle its orbit once?
Use Keplers second law to convince yourself that Earth must move faster in its orbit during the northern hemisphere winter, when it is closest to the Sun, than during the summer, when it is farthest from the Sun.
The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are associated with two points 180 apart in the Earths orbit. That is, the Earth is on precisely opposite sides of the Sun when it passes through these two points. From the vernal equinox. 185.4 days elapse before the autumnal equinox. Only 179.8 days elapse from the autumnal equinox until the next vernal equinox. Why is the interval from the March (vernal) to the September (autumnal) equinox (which contains the summer solstice) longer than the interval from the September to the March equinox rather than being equal to that interval? Choose one of the following reasons, (a) They are really the same, but the Earth spins faster during the summer interval, so the days are shorter, (b) Over the summer interval, the Earth moves slower because it is farther from the Sun. (c) Over the March-to-September interval, the Earth moves slower because it is closer to the Sun. (d) The Earth has less kinetic energy when it is warmer, (e) The Earth has less orbital angular momentum when it is warmer.

Consider Figure 13.23 in Tidal Forces. This diagram represents the tidal forces for spring tides. Sketch a similar diagram for neap tides. (Hint: For simplicity, imagine that the Sun and the Moon contribute equally. Your diagram would be the vector sum of two force fields (as in Figure 13.23), reduced by a factor of two, and superimposed at right angles.)
