Ehe drawing on page 7 illustrating the c. When a meteor is seen in the sky, the direction Farth and an old comet whose orbital of its motion appears as a bright streak. If the been distributed from previous passages. streak is extended backward along its path the be paths of both Earth and the cometare constellation from which the meteor appears to e of the page. In actuality, however, the come from can be identified. This constellation comet and the Earth are seldom in the serves as the name of the meteor shower. What Points A and B represent intersections is the most likely name of the shower observed orbits. Assume the velocity of the comet at point A? at point B? much greater than Earth's at the points of n. The group of constellations appearing ne of the Earth's orbit has been shown stellations). Base your answers to parts d. The Earth moves along its orbit at a rate of question on the drawing. approximately 1"per day. Using your protractor draw lines from the Sun to each edge of the e the process by which comet debris has debris band crossing the Earth's path. Now distributed along the orbit of this old measure the angle those lines subtend and con www ww mwen wo w wherevert this into days along the Earth's orbit. What is the length of time that the meteor showers at on turned by wwth prom. point A and B are observable? vf the way a terus mer e. Does it appear the debris is uniformly spread out around the order? Ques A and B draw an arrow showing the the debris is moving. 1. Will the number of meteors observed per hour be the same at cach annual shower event? Explain Oncolo Own
