Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
The average orbital distance of Mars is 1.52 times the average orbital distance of the Earth. Knowing that the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days, use Kepler's law of harmonies to predict the time for Mars to orbit the sun.
A planet is about 7.79 x 108 km (orbital radius) from the sun. It takes 1,425 days for the planet to go around its orbit (assume circular orbit). What is the orbital velocity in km/sec of the planet along its orbital path? What is its acceleration toward the sun in km/sec2? (Force attraction of sun = ma = mv2); r = orbital radius r

On the evening of an autumnal equinox day Siddhant noticed that Mars was exactly along the north-south meridian in his sky at the exact moment when the sun was setting. In other words, the Sun and Mars subtended an angle of exactly 90° as measured from the Earth. If the orbital radius of Mars is 1.52 au, What will be the approximate rise time of the mars on the next autumnal equinox day?
Saturn's mass is M= 5.69 x 1026 kg and its radius R=60,300 km. If a moon orbits Saturn at a distance equal to 5 times its planetary radius, what is its period of orbit?
