Suppose we find a planet with an orbital period of 200 days around a star with the same mass as the Sun, but only 75 percent as luminous. What is the planet’s semi-major axis, in AU?

For the planet in the problem above, how many times more flux does it receive, relative to Earth?

(If you find that the flux is less than that of Earth, express your answer as a decimal. For example, if the planet receives half as much flux as Earth, enter 0.5.)

Astronomers discover a planet orbiting around another star. The star is very much like our Sun, and the planet is almost a twin to Jupiter. The planet has the same mass as Jupiter, is the same distance from its star as Jupiter is from our Sun (5.2 AU), has the same orbital period (12 years), is the same temperature, and has the same density and chemical composition as Jupiter. However, when we take a close up picture of the planet,...
