Title: Re: If a ring particle survived for the age of the solar system, how many collisions would it ... Post by: bio_man on Jul 27, 2016 The Solar system was formed 4.568 billion years ago.
One year is about 31,560,000 second long. Since 5 hours is 5x(3600) = 18,000 seconds, a particle will collide about 31,560,000 / 18000 = 1753.3 times a year 4.568 billion x 1753.3 = 8009 billion collisions. So, about 8,009,000,000,000 times. |
