The distance between earth and sun is approx 150 million km. The second part requires Keplers 3rd law.
Explanation:
Keplers 3rd law states that the period (year) squared of a planet is proportional to its average orbital distance from the sun cubed.
Mathematically;
P2A3=k (i)
where P is the period, A is the distance and k is a constant.
So, let's define P as being the Earth's period, Aas it's average distance and p as being the period when the orbit distance is a.
So, using equation (i) we can say that:
P2A3=k=p2a3
Now, let's set a=2A (so a3=8A3) and so therefore:
P2A3=p28A3
Cancelling out A3 gives:
P2=p28
8P2=p2
so
p=√8P2
and
p=√8P
So, about 3 times as long to orbit.
