It takes Venus 225 days to orbit the sun. If the Earth-sun distance is 1.5 × 10^11 m, what

is the mean distance between Venus and the Sun?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance between Venus and Sun is 1.0864x10^11 m

Explanation:

Data

T1 (Total time taken by earth to rotate around sun)=365 days

T2 (Total time taken by venus to rotate around sun)=225 days

R1 (Radius b/w Sun and earth)=1.5x10^11m

R2(Distance between Venus and Sun)=?

Solution

Apply Kepler Law

(R2)^3/(R1)^3=(T1)^2/(T2)^2

(R2)^3/(1.5x10^11)^3=(225^2)/(365^2)

R2=1.0864x10^11m
