The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781, and Neptune, the next planet outward from the Sun, was discovered in 1846. Imagine you're an astronomer in 1846, and you start wondering if there's another planet out beyond Neptune. You decide to try and discover its existence using the same method that was used for Neptune. How will you do this?
Group of answer choices
You'll recruit a large number of astronomers to use their telescopes to carefully scan the sky in directions that are far from the ecliptic. The regions around the north and south celestial poles will probably be the best "hunting grounds" for the new planet.
You'll examine Uranus and Neptune very carefully, on every clear night, for several years, to see if you can find any evidence that sunlight has been reflected off of the `new' planet, then off of Uranus or Neptune, before arriving on Earth.
On rare occasions when Neptune passes in front of the Sun, as seen from Earth, you'll look carefully at the Sun (with a safe…
Jupiter's moon Metis has a radius of only 20 km, and a mass of 9 x 1016 kg. Answer the following:

b) Based on your result above, would you say that Metis is made primarily of rock or ice? Justify your answer. (Hint: Density of ice is 920 kg/m3)

How many full Moons does this distance cover if the Moon has an angular diameter of 0.5 degrees? Part 1 of 4 We first need to determine how fast the planet is moving across the sky. If we know the period and the distance between the Sun and the planet we can calculate the velocity using: 2ar which will tell us how many kilometers the planet travels in a day if we convert the period into days. days = (P years' |days/year Pdays days Submit Skip (you cannot come back)arrow_forward
