Question

If I gave you an alien solar system and the following information:

There is one main star, its size, and temperature

There are four planets near it and their distances from the star

The albedo of the planets

Masses and Sizes of the planets.

Draw a flow chart to show how you will attempt to explore what gases (usual ones from the periodic table) live on those planets (if any).

Make an itemized section to describe possible uncertainties that may come up in your approach.

Your answer must be to the point, clear and concise.

Explanation / Answer

The main star which is present in the centre will be exerting a gravitayional pull on the four planet for which we have been given the dimensions . We need to understand one concept that a planet revolves around the star because of the gravitational pull and such pull is important for that planet to withstand its atmosphere.

Radiowaves will be sent from a planet to other planet which can help us assesing the atmosphere of the planet. The uncertanity which will come are

1. The black hole zone between the planets

2. What is the right time of sending the radio waves for which we need to classify the orbital and escape velocity of the planets
