In a distant star system there are many inhabitable planets. One of these planets is named Qomar. Qomar is 3.2 AU's from its star and takes 6.5 Earth years to go around its star once. There is another planet in the same star system called Ferenginar. Ferenginar is 0.9 AUs from the star. What is the length of a Ferengi year (on Ferenginar) in terms of Earth years?
(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.
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.

A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 12 AU and takes 117 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of the star. State your answer with appropriate mks units. [NOTE: AU ..stands.for...astronomical unit". It is the average distance between Earth & the Sun. 1 AU≈ 1.496 x 1011 m.] Enter a number with units. I be quite large and your calculator will display the answer as a power of 10. If, as an example, your answer was 8.54 x 1056, you would type "8.54e56" into the answer box (remember to state your units with your answer).]
