Question #4:
According to the nebular theory, which planet is most likely to be
gaseous rather than rocky?
A. Venus, because it is the warmest planet and so is more likely
to be gaseous
B. Mercury, because planets closer to the solar nebula are more
likely to be made of gas, like the nebula
C. Earth, because the atmosphere consists of nitrogen, oxygen,
and other gases, so it is a gaseous planet
D. Neptune, because as the planets get farther from the solar
nebula, their composition is more icy and gaseous

- H5. A star with mass 1.05 M has a luminosity of 4.49 × 1026 W and effective temperature of 5700 K. It dims to 4.42 × 1026 W every 1.39 Earth days due to a transiting exoplanet. The duration of the transit reveals that the exoplanet orbits at a distance of 0.0617 AU. Based on this information, calculate the radius of the planet (expressed in Jupiter radii) and the minimum inclination of its orbit to our line of sight. Follow up observations of the star in part reveal that a spectral feature with a rest wavelength of 656 nm is redshifted by 1.41×10−3 nm with the same period as the observed transit.

Let’s try to project our future and see what happens. In particular, suppose our civilization gets motivated enough to colonize another planet. Kepler indicates that most stars have potentially habitable (and colonizable) planets, so roughly how far away is the typical “nearest" planet? d) The New Horizons probe on its way to Pluto took 9 years to travel 30 AU.
