Correlation between radius and mass  

Planets, satellites, and comets are a part of our solar system. They have certain mass, radius and volume. The correlation between radius and mass, we should make the equation: 

 

m ^a = r ^b

 
The equation above can be made to become : 

a log m = b log r or b / a = log m / log r

The correlation of radius and mass of the solar system can be looked this table:

Name of Planets	Radius ( r )	Mass ( m )	log m / log r
Venus Earth	2.4773 2.6109	14.818181 18.181818	2.971722 3.022233
		SUM AVERAGE	5.993955 2.996977

 

*) Venus and Earth are planets, which radius and mass of Mercury = 1 Average 2.996977 or 3.00, therefore comparison between square power of radius with mass is three compared one. To make clear the comparison can be showed correlation between radius and mass.

 

	Mass ( m )	Radius ( r )	m(1/3)
Venus Earth	14.818181 18.181818	2.47 2.61	2.45 2.62

From table above can be concluded that the mass equal with the radius power three. Can be wrote: 

 

m = r ³

 

Formation of Halley’s Comet

Comet Halley has period time for revolution of sun 76 years. By using a rule above can be calculated that radius of Halley comet.

Mass of Halley’s comet, m = 2.10 ^-11 (Earth = 1)

Then radius of Comet Halley ( r ) = m^(1/3)

= 2.10 ^-11(1/3)

= 2.7 . 10 ^-4 ( Earth = 1 ) = 1.73 kilometers

Therefore Halley comet has solid mass, so it like has larger volume because it coated by ice layer.

Shape of sky objects in the solar system can be looked this table:

Sky objects	Diameter (kilometers)	Shape
Jupiter Saturn Uranus Earth Mercury Ceres Juno Elektra Antiope Phthia Ida Eros Gaspra	143,000 120,000 51,000 12,700 4,900 975 240 108 85 38 60 x 25 x 19 33 x 11 x 11 19 x 12 x 11	Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Irregular Irregular Irregular

Average of Ida diameter = 30 kilometers, and critical limit shape

= (Phthia diameter + Ida diameter)/2

= (38 + 30)/2

= 34 kms

 

 

 

If critical limit shape, diameter less than 34 kms, then shape of sky objects is irregular.

Therefore radius of comet Halley is 1.73 km, thus the shape is irregular.
