(a) Refer to Table 1.3 to determine the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Then calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometers per second. (b) What is this in meters per second?

Respuesta :

The average distance between the earth and the sun  is 1.3 is 10¹¹ m.

Speed of the Earth = 1157.4 Km/s

Speed of the Earth in meters per second = 1157400 m/s

What is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun?

Distance is a measure of the space between two points.

The average distance between the sun is the space of separation between the Earth and the Sun.

The average distance between the earth and the sun as given in Table 1.3 is 10¹¹ m which is equal to 10⁸ Km.

The average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometers per second is determined as follows:

Speed = Distance/time taken

Time taken for the earth to complete one revolution in its orbit around the Sun = 8.64 * 10⁴ s

Distance of the Earth from the Sun = 10⁸ Km

Speed of the Earth = 10⁸ Km/8.64 * 10⁴ s

Speed of the Earth = 1157.4 Km/s

Speed of the Earth in meters per second = 10¹¹ m/8.64 * 10⁴ s

Speed of the Earth in meters per second = 1157400 m/s

In conclusion, the speed of the earth is determined from the average distance and time for one complete rotation.
