4) Figure 3 below shows how the mass and radius of a planet depends on its composition. Based on the mass you calculated in step 2d and the size you obtained in step 3, use Figure 3 to determine the likely composition of our planet. Is it made of Hydrogen, Water, Rock, or Iron? From this, what do you conclude about the potential for life on our newly discovered planet? b 20 Figure 3 2.51 Water 15 바 2.01 Rock Planet Radius (REarth) 104 0 Earth- Mercury- 1.54 Water Iron Hydrogen Rock Iron 000 1.0FA 0.1 1 10 100 1.000 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 Planet Mass (MEarth)
