Two exoplanets, UCF1.01 and UCF1.02 are found revolving around the same star. The period of planet UCF1.01 is 92.4 days, and that of planet UCF1.02 is 7.1 days. If the average distance of UCF1.01 to the sun is 5,828.0 km, what is the average distance of UCF1.02 to the sun in km? Please keep four digits after decimal points.
(a) Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, Io, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 ✕ 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (PIo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert Io's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 ✕ 108 km). Convert Io's a value to AU and record the result. aIo = AU (b) One Earth year is about 365 days. Convert Io's orbital period to Earth years and record the result. PIo = yr (c) Use the Kepler's Third Law Calculator to calculate Jupiter's mass in solar units. Record the result. MJup(Io) = MSun (d) Based on this result, Jupiter's mass is about that of the Sun. Jupiter has a similar fraction of the Sun's volume. The two objects therefore have rather similar density! In fact, Jupiter has a fairly similar composition as well: most of its mass is in the form of hydrogen and helium.
Mars has an orbital radius of 1.523 AU and an orbital period of 687.0 days. What is its average speed v in SI units? (1 AU is the astronomical unit, the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth, which is 1.496×1011 m) a. 0.00221 AU/day b. 3838 m/s c. 0 d. 1.28×10−9 m/s
The earth takes 365.256 days to go around the sun and 23 hours 56 min and 4.0905 s to revolve about its axis.

If the moon orbits the earth in a period of 29 d 12 h 44 min 2.9 s, has a sidereal period of 27.321582 days, a radius of 1737 km, and a mean distance from the earth of 384,000 km, what is the similar velocity ratio for the moon?
