Find the radius of a sphere of this volume in light years

Reference no: EM131302013

1. Assume the average density of the universe is 0.1 of the critical density needed for closure. What is the average number of protons per cubic meter, assuming the universe is composed mostly of hydrogen?

2. To get an idea of how empty deep space is on the average, perform the following calculations:
Find the volume our Sun would occupy if it had an average density equal to the critical density of 10^-26 kg / m3 thought necessary to halt the expansion of the universe.

(b) Find the radius of a sphere of this volume in light years.

(c) What would this radius be if the density were that of luminous matter, which is approximately 5% that of the critical density?

(d) Compare the radius found in part (c) with the 4-ly average separation of stars in the arms of the Milky Way
