Eccentricity
The formula to calculate Eccentricity is
distance between foci divided by the length of the major axis
slower / longer (bigger orbits)
A small icy body that orbits the Sun, often releasing gas and dust as it gets closer to the Sun.
Comet
What are the two properties do we use on the HR diagram to help us determine what star it is or where it is on
their luminosity and their temperature
Calculate the Eccentricity of the following ellipse if the distance between the two foci equals 8.5 cm and length of the major axis is 14 cm
0.607
What is the value for a perfect circular orbit
0
if a planet is closer to the sun the water is
gas / vapor
The sun is currently always in
main sequence
Calculate the Eccentricity of the following ellipse if the distance between the two foci equals 123,000 cm and length of the major axis is 230,678 cm
0.533
What is the value for a line like orbit or oval/Ellipse shape for eccentricity
1
if a planet is further from the sun the water is
ice
What causes stars to diverge to different paths
their masses
Calculate the Eccentricity of the following ellipse if the distance between the two foci equals 10 cm and length of the major axis is 17 cm
0.588
What is Kepler's first law
Celestial objects travel around the sun in an oval- shaped orbit called an "Ellipse"
where earth is found in the solar system for liquid water to exist, this is called
the habitable zone or Goldilocks zone
What process happens in the sun and what is being converted into what
Nuclear fusion.
Hydrogen fuses/combines to form helium to release tremendous about of energy
Calculate the Eccentricity of the following ellipse if the distance between the two foci equals 0.14568 cm and length of the major axis is 0.23589 cm
0.618
What is Kepler's third law
Celestial objects closer to the sun travel faster
what is so special about Comet Borrelly orbit
Water is in solid ice form most of the time. Every several years it shoots out a jet of vaporized water and dust.
This means it is moving away and towards the sun.
If they don't tell how to or where to round. What place do you round too
The thousandths place.
