- Describe the differences in the chemical makeup of the inner and outer parts of the solar system. What is the relationship between what the planets are made of and the temperature where they formed?arrow_forwardIn the future, astronomers discover a solid moon around a planet orbiting one of the nearest stars. This moon has a diameter of 1948 km and a mass of 1.61022 kg. What is its density?arrow_forwardFar into the future scientists are exploring a new planetary system in hopes of finding an Earth-like planet. In this system they find a planet with five moons, and they decide to study these moons in order to learn more about the planet. Here's what they find: • Moon A orbits the planet once every 2.3 days in a circular orbit with a radius of 7.87x107m. • Moon B has a highly elliptical orbit with an average orbital radius of 1.56x108m that takes 6.4 days. • Moon C has a speed of 1550 m/s in its circular orbit of radius 2.03x108 m. • Moon D has an orbital period of 10.9 days with an average orbital radius of 2.23x108 m. • And Moon E seems to get four times further than Moon B does at their furthest point from the planet. Scientists observed that half its orbit took 25.6 days. Use this data to make a linear plot such that you can use the slope of the line to find the mass of the planet. You may plot quantities such as distances, speeds, or periods, or any powers of those quantities, and…arrow_forward

- Which of the following statements accurately describes our current understanding of the solar system? a. There are no metals in the solar system beyond Jupiter and its orbit. b. Terrestrial worlds are so small because their large atmospheres were stripped away in time by Jupiter. c. Jupiter and Saturn are made of strictly a combination of hydrogen and helium, and both objects lack a planetary core. d. Various ices can contribute to the mass of planetary cores if we are at a great enough distance from the sun.arrow_forwardTriton is the largest moon of Neptune (it is roughly the same size as the earth's moon).
