Talk:Coruscant Prime

We know the semimajor axis of Coruscant. We only know the orbital period in terms of Standard Galactic days. It might be presumptuous of me to assume they're as long as Earth days, especially if we're not going by legends and the idea that it's split into 24 hours, but I think I'd like to do the calculations anyway. For that matter, we don't know if they use the same kilometers.

Coruscant orbits at 207 to 251 million km, giving it a semimajor axis of 229 million km. We know $$a = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GMT^2}{4\pi^2}}$$, so $$M = \frac{4\pi^2a^3}{GT^2}$$, which gives us M = 7.143 × 1030 kg, or 3.592 solar masses. Given the mass-luminosity relation, that makes it about 131.8 times brighter than our sun. Considering the extra distance, Corsuscant recieves about 56.23 times more sunlight. Emitted light goes with the fourth power of temperature, so it would be around 2.73 times hotter than Earth, or around 750 K. Also, Corsucant Prime should have a radius of about 3.5928 = 2.781 times that of our sun. 2601:204:CF01:36E1:42B8:9AFF:FEB1:8873 07:15, February 14, 2018 (UTC)
