An extraterrestrial civilisation lives on a planet with a very elliptical orbit. Additionally, thousands of large asteroids orbit their solar system. The civilisation uses the light from their home star to count the number of asteroids in the direct line between the star and their planet. For a first measurement, they count the asteroids for 60 days and detect 1000 objects. Several months later, they start a second measurement: This time, they count for 80 days. How many asteroids will they detect during the second measurement? Explain why. (Note: Assume that the asteroids are homogeneously distributed in their solar system.)

For Kepler's third law this can be solved as normal ratios

  • 1000/60=x/80
  • 100/6=x/80
  • 6x=8000
  • x=8000/6
  • x=1333.34asteroids

The number of asteroids which will be detected during the second measurement is 1333.34.

What is an Asteroid?

These are referred to objects which revolve round the sun and are characterized by their small rocky shape.

Kepler's third law can be used to solved it using normal ratios

1000/60=x/80

100/6 = x/80

6x = 8000

x= 8000/6

x=1333.34asteroids
