Two planets at mean distance d_(1) and d_(2) from the sun and their frequencies are n and n respectively then

If r denotes the mean distance of a planet from the sun and T is the time period of planet, then

A planet is at R distance from sun and its time period of revolution is T. What will be its new time period of revolution if it brought 0.5 R distance closer to sun ?

Statement-I: When a planet is at maximum distance from the sun, its speed is minimum. Statement-II: The motion of planet around the sun does not follow the law of conservation of angular momentum.

Assume that a planet radiates heat at a rate proportional to the fourth power of its surface temperature T and that the temperature of the planet is such that this loss is exactly compensated by the heat gained from the sun. Show that other things remaining the same, a planet's surface temperature will vary inversely as the square root of its distance from the sun.

The surface temperature of the sun is T_(0) and it is at average distance d from a planet. The radius of the sun is R . The temperature at which planet radiates the energy is
