Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.
In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.
Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

Where,
G = Gravitational Universal constant
M = Mass of the planet
m = mass of the object
r = Distance from center of the planet
When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.
The outer planets have a high gravity due to their large size
Answer:
- the expected value is 8
- the standard deviation is 2.8284
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,
∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)
so
the mean is;
λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month
E[N(t)] = λt
E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)
E[N(t)] = 8
Therefore, the expected value is 8
For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,
Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]
Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]
Var[N(t)] = 8
so the standard deviation will be;
σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )
σ[N(24)] = √(8 )
σ[N(24)] = 2.8284
Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284
