Question 3 1 pts
Suppose a planet named Arcturus-e is discovered orbiting the star Arcturus. That planet has
two moons named Sat-A and Sat-B. Suppose you want to make a model of that planet/satellite
system and you have the known dimensions given in the table below.
Calculate the scale ratio and then fill out the rest of the table with values for the satellite model
diameters and model orbit distances. Show your calculations below the table (remember to show
units in your calculaticks).
Arcturus-e
10,000 km
Planet/Moon
Real diameter
Real orbital radius
Model diameter
Model orbital radius
Sat-A
1,000 km
200,000 km
Sat-B
2,000 km
100,000 km
10 cm
What is the Model orbital radius for Sat-A and Sat-B?
