In the effort to discover exoplanets a planet around another star was discovered that has a period of 320days. What is the distance of the planet from its star if we assume that this star has the same mass as the Sun?
Exoplanets A and B are observed to orbit Star X in circular orbits at distances 1.1 AU and 10.2 AU from Star X, respectively ( 1 AU = 1.5 x 1011 m) . The orbital period of Exoplanet A is 244 days. What is the mass of Star X? (1 day = 86400 s.)
Kepler’s third law says that the orbital period (in years) is proportional to the square root of the cube of the mean distance (in AU) from the Sun (Pa1.5) . For mean distances from 0.1 to 32 AU, calculate and plot a curve showing the expected Keplerian period. For each planet in our solar system, look up the mean distance from the Sun in AU and the orbital period in years and overplot these data on the theoretical Keplerian curve.
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
An exoplanetary system has two known planets. Planet X orbits in 290 days and Planet Y orbits in 145 days. Which planet is closest to its host star? If the star has the same mass as the Sun, what is the semi-major axis of the orbits for Planets X and Y?
In a distant star system there are many inhabitable planets. One of these planets is named Qomar. Qomar is 3.2 AU's from its star and takes 6.5 Earth years to go around its star once. There is another planet in the same star system called Ferenginar. Ferenginar is 0.9 AUs from the star. What is the length of a Ferengi year (on Ferenginar) in terms of Earth years?
While looking through the Mt. Palomar telescope, you discover a large planetary object orbited by a single moon. The moon orbits the planet every 7.35 hours with the centers of the two objects separated by a distance roughly 2.25 times the radius of the planet. Fellow scientists speculate that the planet is made of mostly iron. In fact, the media has dubbed it the ''Iron Planet'' and NASA has even named it Planet Hephaestus after the Greek god of iron. But you have your doubts. Assuming the planet is spherical and the orbit circular, calculate the density of Planet Hephaestus.

Europa Ganymede Jupiter Callisto Titan Saturn Triton Neptune Suppose the moon of a planet has a mass of 1/93th the mass of the planet it is orbiting (note: the moons shown above actually are even a smaller fraction than that!). What is the ratio of the force the moon applies to the planet compared to the force the planet applies to the moon? (Express your answer as a number--don't enter anything like A:B or A/B, just the single number you get by dividing A by B.)
Two exoplanets, UCF1.01 and UCF1.02 are found revolving around the same star. The period of planet UCF1.01 is 4.8 days, and that of planet UCF1.02 is 5.2 days. If the average distance of planet A to the sun is 2,885.4 km, what is the average distance of planet B to the sun km? Please keep four digits after decimal points.
Using high resolution adaptive optical techniques, observations of a nearby (9.5 pc) cool star of mass 0.2 solar masses indicate the presence of a small rocky exoplanet in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.01 arcseconds. Using Kepler's Laws, estimate the period of the exoplanet's orbit in days. select units A
Why do we think that planets in our Solar System were not formed out of the gaseous disk by direct gravitational collapse? Planets are formed in disks. Disks rotate too fast to collapse gravitationally to form planets. In disks that are not massive enough, tidal gravity of the central star prevents the disk gas from collapsing. The material in the disk orbits close to the star. This makes the disk too hot, and pressure support prevented the disk from gravitational collapse. The gravity of the forming planets was not enough to accrete gas.
One of the first exoplanets discovered orbits the star 51 Pegasi with a period of just 4.2 days. 51 Pegasi is very similar to the Sun. Use Kepler’s laws to find the distance (in astronomical units) between the planet (unofficially named Bellerophon) and its star.
