Answer 1

   Don't have any idea how to answer that question, but my mind is running with the possibilities.  That is the one advantage that those whose education is not as advanced as  others.  We can see more possibilities.  We haven't been trained not to think of something new.  Good Luck & Blessings

Answer 2

Planet A  50 X 10^6 mile radius:

Quick revolution

Rocky surface

Crescent  phases as seen from Earth

Planet B

Gaseous, likely much hydrogen

Possibly emits more heat than it receives from the sun

Likely to have ring system

Answer 3

Let me guess, you, Daniel K, Densi, Ansy, Dan, and Rob V are all in the same astronomy class, correct? And it looks as if you are all relying on someone else to do your homework for you. You guys asked so many questions that Brant took it upon himself to actually ask a question about this cheating. You will never get anywhere in life if you let everyone else do your homework for you. What are you going to do when it comes test time? Huh? Yahoo isn't going to be there for you then. And at least a "please" should be attached when you are asking for someone to do homework that was assigned to you.

Planet a will be terrestrial and planet b will be gaseous. There's a start. Figure the rest out yourself.

Answer 4

You have GOT to be kidding. Is the Astronomy & Space section really becoming a place where kids can just ask for the answers to their homework? Face it, we have better things to do than whiz your way out of your school work for you. Even I, a 14 year old kid, knows better. Get off Y!A and back to your own textbooks, because obviously, you cannot handle the two together.
