Venus orbits 0.72 AU from the sun. What is that distance in kilometers?
1 AU is about 93 million miles (92,955,808 miles to be exact)
100km is 62.14 miles
This should help a little.
One AU is the Earth's average distance from the sun, which is
149,598,000 kilometers
Multiply that by 0.72
To convert Astronomical Units (AU) to kilometers, we need to know the value of 1 AU in kilometers.
One Astronomical Unit (AU) represents the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, which is approximately 149.6 million kilometers.
So, to find the distance from Venus to the Sun in kilometers, we need to multiply the distance in AU by the conversion factor:
Distance in kilometers = Distance in AU * Conversion factor
Distance in kilometers = 0.72 AU * 149.6 million kilometers per AU
By performing the calculation:
Distance in kilometers = 0.72 * 149.6 million kilometers
The result is:
Distance in kilometers ≈ 107.712 million kilometers
Therefore, Venus orbits approximately 107.712 million kilometers from the Sun.
