Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

When Sedna was discovered in 2003, it was the most distant object known to orbit the Sun. Currently, it is moving toward the inner solar system. Its period is 10,500 years. Its perihelion distance is 75 AU. a. What is its semimajor axis in astronomical units? b. What is its aphelion distance?
A)At what altitude would a geostationary sattelite need to be above the surface of Mars? Assume the mass of Mars is 6.39 x 1023 kg, the length of a martian solar day is 24 hours 39minutes 35seconds, the length of the sidereal day is 24hours 37minutes 22seconds, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. The answer can be calculated using Newton's verison of Kepler's third law.
A planet (in another galaxy) takes 5 000 Earth days to complete one full revolution around its own star (not the Sun). It is exactly as far away from its star as Earth is to its own Sun. Draw a FBD, then determine how many times more or less massive this star is than our sun (in other words, give a factor of mass, e.g “5x larger” or “5x smaller”)

To model a moon in the solar system, consider a sphere with radius R and uniform mass density p. Let gm = the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the sphere. Calculate gm for these values of R and p: R = 2.0×106 m; p= 2.7x103 kg/m^3; (in m/s^2) OA: OB: 1.509 2.007 OC: 2.669 OD: 3.549 OE: OF: 4.721 6.279 OG: 8.351 OH: 1.111x101
The planet Earth has a semi-major axis of a = 1.00 AU and an orbital period of P= 1 sidereal year = 365.25 days = 3.156 x 10^7 s. Compute the orbital periods of bodies orbiting the Sun with each of the following semi-major axes. a) a = 0.1 AU b) a = 10 AU c) a = 100 AU d) a = 1000 AU e) a = 10,000 AU 1 AU = 1.496 x 10^8 km = 1.496 x 10^11 m = 1.496 x 10^13 cm.

how many seconds are in a mars year that has approx 678 earth days ?
(a) Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, Io, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 ✕ 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (PIo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert Io's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 ✕ 108 km). Convert Io's a value to AU and record the result. aIo = AU (b) One Earth year is about 365 days. Convert Io's orbital period to Earth years and record the result. PIo = yr (c) Use the Kepler's Third Law Calculator to calculate Jupiter's mass in solar units. Record the result. MJup(Io) = MSun (d) Based on this result, Jupiter's mass is about that of the Sun. Jupiter has a similar fraction of the Sun's volume. The two objects therefore have rather similar density! In fact, Jupiter has a fairly similar composition as well: most of its mass is in the form of hydrogen and helium.
Two exoplanets, UCF1.01 and UCF1.02 are found revolving around the same star. The period of planet UCF1.01 is 92.4 days, and that of planet UCF1.02 is 7.1 days.
