Chapter 7, Problem 348RE
The C/1980 E1 comet was observed in 1980. Given an eccentricity of 1.057 and a perihelion (point of closest approach to the Sun) of 3.364 AU, find the Cartesian equations describing the comet’s trajectory. Are we guaranteed to see this comet again? (Hint: Consider the Sun at point (0, 0).

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_forwardNeptune orbits the Sun in an elliptical path with the Sun at one focus. At aphelion, Neptune is farthest from the Sun at 4.546 × 109 km. If the eccentricity of the orbit is 0.0113, determine the distance at perihelion (closest point between Neptune and the Sun). Round to the nearest million km.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardThe orbit of Halley's comet, last seen in 1986 and due to return in $2062,$ is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.97 and one focus at the sun.
