Would the Sun be detectable above 25.0 magnitude in the Andromeda Galaxy (D=2.5 million light years)? [Hint: You just determined the distances at which the Sun would appear at 25.0 mag and 30.0 mag. Compare those answers to the distance to Andromeda (converted to parsecs).]

Our solar system is about 8,000 parsecs from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. What is the distance from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy to the Sun in miles? One parsec = 3.086 x 10^13 kilometers Milky Way is 10^18 across The answer is 1.53 x 1017 miles but I cannot figure out how they got that answer

The apparent magnitude of Sun in V filter band is -26.7 mag. Please answer what's the absolute magnitude of the Sun in V-band? Suppose you are observing a globular cluster in the halo of the Milky Way, whose distance was 25 kiloparsecs, and you want to be able to detect stars like the Sun in this cluster. What would the apparent V magnitude be for a star identical to the Sun, if it were at that distance?

The observable universe contains about 2 trillion galaxies. Our solar system belong to one of these galaxies and is called the Milky Way galaxy. Like the Earth revolves around the sun, the sun also revolves around the center of our galaxy, once every 2.5 × 108 years. Assume that each of the stars in our galaxy has the same mass as our sun and the stars are uniformly distributed in a sphere about the galactic center, find the number of...

The energy received by the Sun, or irradiance (W/m2) is affected by our distance from the Sun and interactions with Earth’s atmosphere. For each of the following locations, describe the expected irradiance value in W/m2.

The minimum distance of a comet from the Sun is observed to be an eighth of...
The minimum distance of a comet from the Sun is observed to be an eighth of the radius of the Earth’s orbit (which is assumed to be circular), and its speed at that point (the perihelion) is four times the orbital speed vE of the Earth. The orbits of the Earth and comet are coplanar. a) Find the comet’s speed in terms of vE when it crosses the Earth’s orbit, and the angle at which the orbits cross. b) Will...

The distance between the sun and Earth is 1.00 au (astronomical unit) and the energy flux from the sun is 1372 W m-2 at this distance. The distance between the sun and Mars is 1.51 au. Mars has an albedo of 0.149. Determine the effective temperature (in K) of Mars, as seen from space.

Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the Sun. Based upon distance alone (i.e, if you were to place an Earth-mass planet at Jupiter's distance from the Sun), what would be the gravitational force between the Earth-mass planet at 5.2 AU and the Sun in units of "Earth-pulls?"

Debbie is in Los Angeles, at a distance r = 5280 km from the Earth’s axis of rotation. (a) What is Debbie’s speed (as measured by an observer not moving relative to the center of the Earth)? (b) What is Debbie’s acceleration? Your answer indicates to what extent the apparent acceleration due to gravity is modified when not at one of the poles. For reference, g = 9.81 m/s^2 at the poles, but appears slightly less near the equator.

Our solar system is roughly 2.28 x 1020 m away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and the system is moving at roughly 227.7 km/s around the galaxy's center. Since most of the galaxy's mass is near its center (and we are on an outer arm of this spiral galaxy), let's model the galaxy has a spherical mass distribution (like a single, giant star that our system is orbiting around). What is the mass of the galaxy (according...
