intergalactic planetary

Model #1

For this first model we made a rough sketch of all the planets in order of closest to furthest from the sun. We labeled each planet for its name and ended the model there due to lack of information.

Model #2

this model includes more detail such as distance from sun, mass and the type of planet (gas giant or solid).

Model #3

This model we were given resources to new information as well as the ability to research our own. For this we chose two planets one a gas giant the other a solid and we were instructed to get more in depth with our models by including more information this included mass radius, distance from sun, gravity, and force of gravity. We chose Jupiter and Mercury as you can see from the model to the left.

Model #4

Now we were tasked to find a key element of a planet based upon little information this was also a planet not in our solar system so we wouldn't be able to do any research. We were given the following information: mass radius distance from sun and orbital speed. with this information we solved for the escape velocity of this mystery planet by using the equation G=g*m^2/kg² with this equation we found the escape velocity and could

Model #5

We had to predict four things about the two mystery planets named X and Y our predictions had to be based off of the following evidence given radius mass, orbital speed, distance from sun, and obliquity to orbit.

Our first prediction was that these planets would have different seasons one of which would be more extreme due to its large obliquity to orbit that would result in more drastic changes in seasons.

Second prediction: we predicted planet X´s climate to be very cold due to the knowledge that it's distance from the sun was 10,170 *10¹6 this means that the suns heat would be as much due to its large distance it's covering.

Prediction #3 planet Y has little density we predicted this to be true due to its fairly large mass which was almost as much as Earths unlike its radius however which was shockingly low therefore making us believe that a lot of mass is tightly packed on this planet. This information can be important for gathering escape velocity which will be effected to how much mass it has compared to its size therefore effecting how much gravity is being impacted on the planet.

The last prediction we could make is the orbital period or length of year this could be found with the orbital speed distance from sun. We also found an inversely related relationship between the speed the planet was moving and the orbital period.

Model #5b

For our last model we were instructed to find the orbital period of both planet X and Y we did this with the equation T=2*pi*d/v

Next we had to find out weight on these planets which was possible using the equation F=g*m*m/r^2

we used these equation substituting our mass and the planets mass we also used the radius for ¨r¨ and could then solve the equation our results are in the model to the left.
