The tiny ripples on the soup are not only similar to wind-generated
waves ... they ARE wind-generated waves. This is a big part of the
reason why they bear such an uncanny resemblance.
1) Frequency: 
the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

The energy of a photon is given by

where
is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm
The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

where
is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

Answer:
Weather is the conditions (temperature, wind etc.) at a given time, like on that day. Climate, which is what his data would show, is the conditions over an extended period of time like the 3 months he collected data
Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension
Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension
Subtracting hours right ascension
4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension.
Thus,
star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2
