Question

The orbital radius of Venus is 0.72 AU. What is this distance in kilometers? (One AU is about 150 million kilometers.)

Answer 1

Using  the formula for the orbital velocity applied for  of Venus,

calculated Velocity = v = 35.02 km/s.Hence , calculated distance to the

Sun= R = 0.723 x 149,579,871 km= 108,150,260 km

orbital period= T= 2 π R / v. T = 2 x 3.14 x 108,150,260/ 126,072.T = 5389.75 s.

Answer 2

Using  the formula for the orbital velocity applied for  of Venus,

calculated Velocity = v = 35.02 km/s.Hence , calculated distance to the

Sun= R = 0.723 x 149,579,871 km= 108,150,260 km

orbital period= T= 2 π R / v. T = 2 x 3.14 x 108,150,260/ 126,072.T = 5389.75 s.
