1. Callisto (a moon of Jupiter) orbits Jupiter in 17 days, you now discover a new moon which orbits Jupiter in 105 days. (a) Compare the orbital radius of this new moon with that of Callisto (i.e., how many times bigger/small is the orbital radius of the new moon compared to the orbital radius of Callisto). [4] (b) Callisto has a radius of 4820.6 km and is at a distance from Jupiter of 1882700 km. Calculate the angular size of Callisto as seen from Jupiter. Provide your answer in units of arcminutes.
