Step-by-step explanation:
Given The maximum and minimum distances of the Earth from the Sun respectively are 152 x 10 km and 94.5 x 10^6 km. The Sun is at one focus of the elliptical orbit. Find the distance from the Sun to the other focus
- Now we have an elliptical orbit and let maximum and minimum distance is A and A’ and let S be the sun on the orbit.
- So we have SA = 152 x 10^6 km
- So we have SA’ = 94.5 x 10^6 km
- Another focus point is S’
- So let the distance between S’ and S be C
- So SA = a + c = 152 x 10^6 km ----------1
- Now focus a – c = 94.5 x 10^6 km--------2
- We need to find the distance from the sun to the other focus.
- Subtracting 1 and 2 we have
- So a + c – (a – c) = 152 x 10^6 – 94.5 x 10^6
- So a + c – a + c = 57.5 x 10^6 km
- So 2c = 57.5 x 10^6 km
- So 2c will be the distance from sun to the other focus and it is 57.5 x 10^6 km
- So we can write as 575 x 10^5 km
