Бележка
General note. Maybe not all problems have correct questions. Some questions (maybe the main question of the problem, maybe one of the subquestions) may make no real sense. In this case you have to write in your answer (in English or Russian): «impossible situation – ситуация невозможна». Of course, this answer has to be explained numerically or logically.
Data from the tables (Planetary data, stars, constants, etc.) may be used for solving every problem.
The answers «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» have to be written in English or Russian.

Note for jury and team leaders
The proposed sketches are not full; the team leaders have to give more detailed explanations to students. But the correct solutions in the students’ papers (enough for 8 pts) may be shorter.

Условие
At what maximum distance from the Venus ecliptic the Earth can be visible at the sky from Venus (actually, from a point outside the Venus atmosphere)? Orbits of the planets may be considered circular.
Estimate the stellar magnitude of the Earth in this situation.
Решение
α-5. Venus and Earth.
The maximum space distance from the Earth to the Venus ecliptic is (see figure)
where is radius of the Earth orbit (1 AU), and is the orbital inclination of the terrestrial orbit to the plane of Venus ecliptic, which is evidently equal to the orbital inclination of the Venus orbit to the plane of the Earth’s ecliptic, i.e. .

In the Venetian sky, the Earth in such position can be visible at the maximum distance at the configuration of opposition, when the distance between Venus and Earth is minimal and equals to
(all angles are small and we do not take into account the inclination in these calculations). The maximal distance in the sky (angle ) may be found from the equation
β-5. Venus and Earth.
First part of the solution, see solution of problem α-5.
To estimate stellar magnitude of the Earth visible from vicinities of Venus in opposition we may compare it with Mars visible from the Earth in opposition (below is albedo, are diameters of the bodies and are distances, indices E, V, M and S correspond to Earth, Venus, Mars and Sun).
The flux to Venus from Earth
The flux to Earth from Mars
The ratio of fluxes
Taking the necessary values from the table of Solar system, we may calculate:
So the Earth visible from vicinities of Venus at opposition is brighter than Mars visible from Earth at opposition, and the difference in stellar magnitudes is equal
Stellar magnitude of the Earth
Of course it is not the only possible correct way for solution.
Basic criteria for examiners.
First part of the solution — 4 pt, (see criteria for problem α-5 and divide number of points by factor 2).
Second part of the solution — 4 pt, including:
Formula for flux — 2 pt.
(including 0.5 pt for each correct dependence on , , (obs-planet), (sun-planet)).
Calculation of the ratio of fluxes — 1 pt.
Final result — 1 pt.
α-5 criteria referenced above.
Understanding the configuration, picture (may be not drawn but explained) — 3 pt.
Taking for solution correct values from tables — 1 pt.
Calculation of necessary distances — 2 pt.
Final result — 2 pt.
