I'll surely mark as brainliest if the answer would be correct. Answer fast.
If the distance between sun and earth is 1.5x 108Km and time period of revolution of earth around the sun is 1 year, then find the tangential speed of earth around the sun.

Explanation:
The average distance of the Earth from the Sun is spproximately 150 million km or 1.5×1011m
The orbit of the Earth around the sun is roughly circular (more eliptical really, but let's keep it simple), with a period of roughly 365 days.
So the path that the Earth traverses in 365 days is approximately the circumference of a circle of radius 1.5×1011m.
Use the formula C=2πr to find that this is about 9.4×1011m.
The number of seconds in 365 days is:
365⋅24⋅60⋅60=31536000
So the tangential velocity of the Earth is approximately:
9.4×10113.1536×107≈3×104ms−1
That is 30 km per second.
If you want more accuracy, get more accurate figures for the distance of the Earth from the sun at perihelion/aphelion and use a more accurate figure for the orbital period.
