Answer #1

The solar radiance is defined as amount of light energy incident at the surface.

In the diagram

R is the radius of the sun

D is the distance of the surface from the center of the sun at which the solar irradiance is to be calculated

is the power density at the sun's surface

is the solar radiation intensity at surface

The formula for is

The radius of the sun is and distance of the Jupiter's orbit from the center of the sun is

The solar radiance at the surface of the sun is

The solar radiance reaching at the orbit of the Jupiter is

question 1 Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was captured into orbit around Jupiter in the 1960s or 1970s. The comet was tidally disrupted on a close approach with Jupiter in July 1992 and collided with the planet in July 1994. Estimate how close the comet must have approached Jupiter in 1992 in order that it was tidally disrupted, assuming that the comet was loosely bound only by its own gravitational forces. question 2 Consider a star of mass M = 0.5M(dot) and...
