Question
Transcribed Image Text:The asteroid belt shows a variety of gaps corresponding to orbital distances from the
Sun where there appear to be a paucity of asteroids. These locations are often
resonances with Jupiter. Hypothetically, how far from the Sun would a 1:5
resonance with Saturn's orbital period be?
O 1.0 AU
3.2 AU
5.0 AU
5.8 AU
9.4 AU
