- In addition to an atmosphere dominated by nitrogen, how else is Saturn’s moon Titan similar to Earth?arrow_forwardIf you were to record the spectrum of Saturn as well as the A ring, you would find light from one edge of the rings red shifted and light from the other edge blueshifted. If you observed a spectral line at a wavelength of 500.000 nm, what difference in wavelength should you expect between the opposite edges of the rings? (Hints: See Problem 9, and use the formula for Doppler shift, Eq. 7-3.)arrow_forwardCalculate the radius of Jupiters Roche limit for a satellite with density equal to the planet. Which of Jupiters moons is closest to the Roche limit? What might that tell you about the relationship between that moon and Jupiters ring? (Note: Necessary data are given in Celestial Profile: Jupiter and Appendix Table A-11.)arrow_forward
- What is the orbital velocity and period of a ring particle at the outer edge of Saturns A ring? (Hint: Use the formula for circular velocity, Eq. 5-1a. The formula requires input quantities in kg and m.) (Note: The radius of the outer edge of the A ring is 136,500 km.)arrow_forwardWhat is the escape velocity from the surface of Ganymede? Ganymedes mass is 1.5 1023 kg and its radius is 2.6 103 km. (Hint: Use the formula for escape velocity, Eq. 5-1b. The formula requires input quantities in kg and m.)arrow_forwardWhat is the orbital velocity of Miranda around Uranus? (Hint: Use the formula for circular velocity, Eq. 5-1a. The formula requires input quantities in kg and m.) (Note: Necessary data are given in Celestial Profile: Uranus and Appendix Table A-11.)arrow_forward
- How can Titan keep an atmosphere when Titan is smaller than airless Ganymede?arrow_forwardIf Jupiter had a satellite the size of our own Moon orbiting outside the orbit of Callisto, what would you predict for the satellites density and surface features?arrow_forwardThe water clouds believed to be present on Jupiter and Saturn exist at temperatures and pressures similar to those in the clouds of the terrestrial atmosphere. What would it be like to visit such a location on Jupiter or Saturn? In what ways would the environment differ from that in the clouds of Earth?arrow_forward
- How are the atmospheres of Earth and Triton similar?arrow_forwardCalculate the mass of Callisto using a value for its density of 1.8 g/cm3. Convert your answer to units of kg, and compare to the mass of Ganymede given in Problem 5. (Notes: Density is mass divided by volume, and the volume of a sphere is 43r3. Necessary data are given in Appendix Table A-11.) 4. What is the escape velocity from the surface of Ganymede? Ganymedes mass is 1.5 1023 kg and its radius is 2.6 103 km.
