Fossil records indicate that life appeared on Earth a billion years after the creation of the solar system. If we assume that the evolutionary processes are always the same, i.e., it always takes a billion years for life to flourish, calculate the most massive a star can be for its main-sequence lifetime to permit life to form on a planet. Give your answer in units of solar mass.

The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.22 light years from the Earth. Ignoring relative motion between the solar system and Proxima Centauri, suppose that a spacecraft accelerates from the vicinity of the Earth at 0.01g (0.01 times the acceleration due to gravity at sea level) until it reaches one-tenth the speed of light, coasts until it is time to decelerate, and then decelerates at 0.01g until it becomes to rest in the vicinity of Proxima Centauri. How long does the...

. The age of the universe (that is, the time since the Big Bang) is 14 billion years. The age of the Solar System is 4.56 billion years. Thus, the Solar System has existed for 32.6% of the age of the universe. For what percentage of the total age of the universe have existed: (i) helium nuclei, (ii) neutral atoms, (iii) galaxies, and (iv) the U.S.

1) A visual binary star system has been observed for forty years. In that time the two stars have completed 1⁄4 of their orbit around “each other” (actually around their mutual centre of mass). They are just far apart enough that our observations indicate that they are in circular orbits - they have stayed a constant 3.0 arcseconds apart since they were first observed. One of the two stars is a G2V star, identical to our Sun, and therefore has...

Why can the age of a star cluster be determined? a) The lifetime of a star can be determined because it is directly related to its mass. b) All of the stars of the cluster formed at the same time. c) The cluster's HR diagram will show a turnoff point where stars of a given mass have left the main sequence. d) All of the above. For any given star, the distance modulus: a) is the distance in light-years from...

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...

1. The closest star, other than the Sun, to us is at about 4 light years. To escape from the solar system a space craft has to travel at a minimum of 42 km per second. That is not really fast enough, because as the Sun's gravity keeps tugging on it, while it would escape, it would slow down in velocity as time goes on and not be going very fast once it is far from the Sun. But let's...
