Imagine another solar system, with a star more massive than the Sun. Suppose a planet with the same mass as Earth orbits at a distance of 1 AU from the star. How would the planet's year (orbital period) compare to Earth's year?
A) The planet's year would be shorter than Earth's. B) The planet's year would be longer than Earth's. C) The planet's year would be the same as Earth's. D) An orbit at a distance of 1 AU would not be possible around a star more massive than the Sun.
Binary star systems are thought to form when
A) gravity pulls two neighboring protostars quite close together, but angular momentum causes them to orbit each other rather than collide. B) two interstellar gas clouds happen to contract so close together that there's no room for a disk or planets. C) the protostellar disk around a protostar has enough material to form a second star. D) a protostar emits two jets, each of which turns into a star.
