I need to come up with some math questions about the solar system.
assistance needed
School subject is not "6th grade."
Compare the mass of the Sun to that of Earth.
What is a light year? How long does it take Sunlight to reach Earth? To reach Pluto?
i need help on this math question. when is the greatest common factor of the two numbers one of the two numbers? Will you help me on this?
please respond to this question. when is the greatest common factor of the two numbers one of the two numbers? i really need help on this becuase i don't get it. thank you!
Sure! Here are some math questions about the solar system:
1. If the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 93 million miles and light travels at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second, how long does it take for sunlight to reach Earth?
To solve this question, divide the distance between Earth and the Sun by the speed of light.
2. The diameter of the Sun is about 1.39 million kilometers, and the diameter of Earth is about 12,742 kilometers. How many times bigger is the Sun's diameter compared to Earth's diameter?
To find the answer, divide the diameter of the Sun by the diameter of Earth.
3. The average orbital period of Jupiter is approximately 11.86 Earth years, while the average orbital period of Saturn is about 29.46 Earth years. How much longer does it take for Saturn to complete one orbit around the Sun compared to Jupiter?
Calculate the difference in the orbital periods of Saturn and Jupiter to find the answer.
4. If the average temperature on Mars is -80 degrees Fahrenheit and the average temperature on Earth is 59 degrees Fahrenheit, what is the difference in temperature between the two planets?
To find the difference, subtract the temperature of Mars from the temperature of Earth.
5. The diameter of the Moon is about 3,474 kilometers, and the diameter of Earth is about 12,742 kilometers. How many times bigger is Earth's diameter compared to the Moon's diameter?
Divide the diameter of Earth by the diameter of the Moon to determine the ratio.
These questions require using mathematical principles such as division, subtraction, and ratio calculations. They integrate knowledge about distances, sizes, and orbital periods within our solar system.
