After the Sun and the Moon, Venus is the brightest object that we can see in the sky. Two factors that this so is that it has a very bright white cloud cover and, at the orbital radius of 0.7233 AU, it is inside our orbit around the Sun, so it reflects a lot of light. Other reasons that helps is its size (radius = 6,052 km) and that, besides our Moon, Venus is the object that comes closer to the Earth than any other. At solar inferior conjunction, Venus lies directly between the Sun and us. How big would its angular diameter measure in arcsec in the sky then?

A comet orbits the Sun. At a particular point in its orbit, the following numbers can be used to describe various parameters about it at that time. Based on the numbers alone, use logic and your understanding of orbits to match the numbers listed to the most appropriate unit of measure and parameter for its orbit.
0.625 eccentricity of orbit 11.7 AU, its aphelion distance from the Sun 19.31 yr, its period of orbit 5.5 AU, an instantaneous distance from the Sun 7.2 AU, its semi-major axis of its orbit 2.7 AU, its perihelion distance from the Sun
Jupiter's mean radius is 69,911 km (or 69,911 × 103 m = 6.9911 × 107 m), and, of course, its diameter is twice its radius at 139,822 km (or 1.39822 × 108 m). When Jupiter appears at opposition from the Sun, we are at the closest position to it in our orbit and it is only 628.7 Gm (or 628.7 × 109 m = 6.287 × 1011 m) away from us.In arcsec, how big would its angular diameter then appear in the sky rounded to four significant digits?
