Document Summary
In order to find the distance to the moon would have to covert 27. 32 days to hours, which is 655. 68 days. By using graph one, i was able to determine the distance to the moon that is about 380,000km. In order for a satellite to have an orbital motion synchronized with the rotation of the. Earth, so that it remains above the same location on the earth continuously, it would have to have the same rotational period as earth that is 24 hours. The distance from the sun of an object that has a sidereal period of 195 years is about. If distance of this object from the sun had been 5 a. u, its period would have been about. 0. 001253507 (show calculations for each of the 3 columns for ganymede while you fill in the table) Period in days / days in a year.
