. Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and divide them. Show your work
Let's choose the distances of the planets Venus and Mars from the Sun.
The average distance of Venus from the Sun is approximately 108 million km.
The average distance of Mars from the Sun is approximately 228 million km.
Now, let's divide the distance of Mars from the Sun by the distance of Venus from the Sun:
228 million km รท 108 million km = 2.11
Therefore, the ratio of the distance of Mars from the Sun to the distance of Venus from the Sun is approximately 2.11.
Sure! Let's choose the distances of Earth and Mars from the Sun and divide them.
The average distance of Earth from the Sun is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles), while the average distance of Mars from the Sun is approximately 227.9 million kilometers (141.6 million miles).
To calculate the division, we'll divide the distance of Mars by the distance of Earth:
227.9 million kilometers / 149.6 million kilometers
To simplify the division, we'll divide the numbers:
= 1.523
Therefore, the division of the distances of Mars and Earth from the Sun is approximately 1.523.
Sure! Let's choose two distances of planets from the sun.
The average distance from the sun to Earth is approximately 93 million miles (or 149.6 million kilometers). Let's call this distance D1.
The average distance from the sun to Mars is approximately 142 million miles (or 228 million kilometers). Let's call this distance D2.
To find the division of these distances, let's divide D2 by D1:
D2 / D1 = 142 million miles / 93 million miles
= 1.526
So, when you divide the distance from the sun to Mars by the distance from the sun to Earth, you get approximately 1.526.
Please note that these distances are approximate, as the distances of planets from the sun can vary due to elliptical orbits.
