11:10 OZ Quiz 4 Question 10/10 Take a look at the transit light curve on the slide titled "Planetary Transits (Eclipses)" from Lecture 7. Come up with an equation that will allow you to solve for the transiting planet's radius in terms of the star's radius, the normal flux of the star, and the minimum flux of the star during the transit. Then use this equation to solve for the radius of the planet if HD179070's radius is 1.86 times the radius of the Sun. Please give your answer in units of km.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
