Find an equation of the planet's orbit around the star. [Hint: Set up a coordinate system with the star at one focus and the major axis lying on the x-axis as in the figure. Calculate a from the equation 2a = aphelion + perihelion. Calculate c from the Aphelion Perihelion (0,0) Star equation c=a - perihelion. Calculate b' from the equation 2 b2 = a? - c?. Write the equation 1.] %3D 2 a 2. What is the equation of the planet's orbit (distances are in millions of miles) about the star? Choose the correct answer below. x2 y? x?

- The moon’s orbit around the Earth is elliptical with the Earth at one focus and with eccentricity 0.0549. If the distance between the moon and Earth at the closest point is 363,300 km, determine the distance at the farthest point. Round to the nearest 100 km.arrow_forwardA certain comet has an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus. The eccentricity of the orbit is approximately 0.98. The length of the major axis of the orbit is about 34.95 astronomical units. (An astronomical unit is about 93 million miles.) Find the standard form of the equation of the orbit. Place the center of the orbit at the origin and place the major axis on the x-axis. (Round all numerical values to two decimal places.) ___________________________________ = 1arrow_forwardThe orbit of Halley's comet, last seen in 1986 and due to return in 2061, is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.97 and one focus at the sun. The length of its major axis is 36.18 AU. [An astronomical unit (AU) is the mean distance between the earth and the sun, about 93 million miles.] Find a polar equation for the orbit of Halley's comet. r = What is the maximum distance from the comet to the sun? ________AUarrow_forward
