The document contains astronomy questions about planets in our solar system including: - Which planet is most massive (Jupiter) - Which planet does not have rings (Mars) - What is liquid metallic hydrogen and which planets contain it (Jupiter and Saturn, extreme pressure and temperatures) - Why do Saturn's atmospheric features appear fainter than Jupiter's ( thinner atmosphere) - How do shepherd satellites affect planetary rings and is the term appropriate (stabilize ring edges and term is appropriate) - Why Triton will never collide with Neptune despite spiraling inward (orbits are not perfectly circular and will miss colliding) - What Earth would be like if Jupiter was a star with 0.1

1. ASTRONOMY. Answer the questions using your own words
only.. Do NOT plagarize. Answer each question sepreatly, does
not have to be a long answer.
1. Which is the most massive planet in the solar system? a.
Earth, b. Neptune, c. Saturn, d. Jupiter, e. Mercury 2. Which of
the following planets does NOT have rings? Choose only one.
(a) Mars; (b) Uranus; (c) Neptune; (d) Saturn; (e) Jupiter. 9.
What is liquid metallic hydrogen? Which planets contain this
substance? What [conditions produce] this form of hydrogen?
16. Why do features in Saturn’s atmosphere appear much fainter
and “washed out” than comparable features in Jupiter’s
atmosphere? 17. Explain how shepherd satellites affect some
planetary rings. Is “shepherd satellites” an appropriate term for
these objects? Explain your answer. 26. Explain why Triton will
never collide with Neptune, even though it is spiraling toward
that Planet. 37. What IF: Jupiter, at its present location, were a
star? What would Earth be like? (Hint: Recall that to be a star,
Jupiter would have to have 75 times more mass than it has
today.) [To make the question a little less open-ended, let’s give
it a mass of 0.1 times that of the Sun, which is 100× its current
mass. Such a star will have a light/heat output of 0.001 that of
the Sun.]
