chose two of the distances from the sun and add them. chose from different planets show all work.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Its average distance from the sun is about 35.9 million miles (57.8 million kilometers).
his planet travels around the sun in a nearly circular orbit, at an average distance of about 67.2 million miles (108.2 million kilometers).
The Earth travels around the sun at an average distance of 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
So the distance between Mars and the sun may be as little as 128.4 million miles (206.7 million kilometers) or as much as 154.8 million miles (249.2 million kilometers).
Jupiter travels around the sun at an average distance of 483 million miles (778 million kilometers). It takes 11.9 Earth years to complete one orbit.
It orbits the sun at an average distance of 885.5 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers).
Uranus is 32,000 miles (51,500 kilometers) in diameter. It orbits the sun at an average distance of 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers).
Neptune's average distance from the sun is about 2.8 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometers).
Let's choose two distances and add them.
1) Mercury's average distance from the sun: 35.9 million miles
2) Uranus' average distance from the sun: 1.8 billion miles
Adding these two distances:
35.9 million miles + 1.8 billion miles = 1.8359 billion miles
Therefore, the sum of the distances between Mercury and the sun and Uranus and the sun is 1.8359 billion miles.
Let's choose the distances from the sun of Earth and Jupiter and add them together.
The average distance from the sun to Earth is 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
The average distance from the sun to Jupiter is 483 million miles (778 million kilometers).
Adding these two distances together:
93 million miles + 483 million miles = 576 million miles
So the sum of the distances from the sun to Earth and Jupiter is approximately 576 million miles.
To find the sum of the distances from the sun, we can choose any two planets and add their average distances.
Let's choose Mars and Uranus:
Mars' average distance from the sun is between 128.4 million miles (206.7 million kilometers) and 154.8 million miles (249.2 million kilometers).
Uranus' average distance from the sun is 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers).
To find the sum, we can convert the distances to a consistent unit, either miles or kilometers. Let's use miles in this case.
Let's take the average of Mars' distance, which would be (128.4 million + 154.8 million)/2 = 141.6 million miles.
Now we can add the distances:
141.6 million miles + 1.8 billion miles = 1.9416 billion miles.
So, the sum of the distances from the sun for Mars and Uranus is approximately 1.9416 billion miles.
