1. question 14
Earth's water and atmosphere were most likely
brought in the form of comets from the outer solar system
here at the time Earth was created.
the result of anerobic accretion.
the result of recomination of elements of the solar wind as the temperature was much cooler this
far from the protosun.
question 16
The masses of the planets with moons may be calculated by
applying Newton's form of Kepler's 3
rd
Law to the orbits of the planet's moons
applying Newton's form of Kepler's 3
rd
Law to the orbits of the planets
using the Doppler effect
measuring their diameters and calculating a ratio with the Earth's diameter and known mass
question 25
Calculate the maximum angular diameter of the Sun, to the nearest tenth of an arcmin, as seen
from Mars when Mars is a distance 227186343 km from the Sun.
R
sun
= 7 x 10
5
km.
question 13
Which of the following are known facts about our solar system that any good theory of its
formation must explain?
Orbits of the planets are nearly circular
The planets are highly differentiated, with high density planets near the sun and low density
planets further away
Asteroids are very old and differ in characteristics from the inner and outer planets and their
moons.
Each planet is relatively isolated in space
The orbits of the planets are nearly co-planar
All of these
Primitive icy fragments that do not orbit in the plane of the ecliptic reside primarily at large
distances from the sun
The direction in which the planets orbit the sun is the same as the direction of rotation of the Sun
brought in the form of comets
from the outer solar system
here at the time Earth was
created.
the result of anerobic accretion.
the result of recomination of
elements of the solar wind as
the temperature was much
cooler this far from the
protosun.
