Which of Keplers laws gives the most direct indication of the shape of the orbit of a planet? (16.1) (a) law of elliptical orbits (b) law of equal areas (c) harmonic law
Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
Two planets orbit the same star in circular orbits. One orbits at a distance of 167AU and takes 1.5days to complete an orbit. The second planet orbits at a distance of 4.7 AU. How long does it take the the second planet to complete one orbit? answer in days.
Measure the periods for each planet. Measure the orbital radius of each planet. Calculate the ratios of square of the periods and cubed of the radii for the planets. Compare the results and comment if your result confirms Kepler's Third Law. (Pic1 has the yellow and bluw planets points plotted. Pic2 has the grey and red planet plots listed.)
One year on Planet AAA is 5 time the length of one earth year and it orbits its sun at an average distance 4.38 AU. Planet ZZZ orbits the same sun at an average distance of 2.53 AU. Determine the length of one year on Planet ZZZ in earth days.
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.

Using Kepler’s Third Law (r3 = MT2 where M is the mass of the central star) find the orbital radius in astronomical units of this planet. M = 1.5 times the mass of the sun. Remember to convert days to years using 365.25 as the length of a year in days. Key Points to know: - The semimajor axis of the planet in AU is r = 0.0379 AU - The circumference of the orbit is l = 3.562 x 10^10 m - The orbital velocity in m/s is v = 1.874 x 10^5 m/s Questions that need to be answered: - With that orbital velocity, the radius of the orbit in meters, find the centripetal acceleration of our exoplanet: - Knowing the acceleration that our planet experiences, calculate the force that the host star exerts on the planet: - Knowing the force on the planet, the orbital radius, and the mass of the parent star, use the equation for gravitational force to find the mass of our planet (m2). (To get m1 in kg multiply the mass of the star in solar masses by 1.98 x 1030).

The planet Saturn has a mass of 5.68×10^26 kg and a radius of 58,200 km. Janus, a moon of Saturn, has a mass of 1.9×10^18 kg and it orbits Saturn a distance of 151,400 km from the center of Saturn. - How many hours does it take for Janus to orbit Saturn?
