    We already know that the distance of all the planets are generally calculated by keeping the Sun as the main location point. The distances of all the planets from the Sun in scientific notation and exponential form- Mercury- 57 million kilometers. Scientific notation- 5.7* 10^7 \\ "km" Venus- 108 million kilometers. Scientific notation- 1.08 * 10^8 \\ "km" Earth- 150 million kilometers ...

    The distance from the Sun to the nearest star is about #4 x 10^16# m. The Milky Way galaxy is roughly a disk of diameter #~10^21# m and thickness #~10^19# m. How do you find the order of magnitude of the number of stars in the Milky Way?

    Which planet has the greater linear speed? Mars is about 1.5 times as far from the sun as the earth and its mass is about 0.1 times the earth's mass. Relative to the gravitational force the sun exerts on the earth, what is the force it exerts on Mars? How far is Mars from the sun in astronomical units?

    Explanation: Considering the orbits for the planets of our solar system: you can see these elliptic orbits that are contemplated also in Kepler's first law. As such orbits/planets have a minimum and maximum radius/distance from the Sun. Normally you can apprximate the orbits as circles (for some simple calculations) introducing an average radius.

    The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. The more distant the planet is, the longer it will take for it to complete one revolution. T^2=a^3 This is from the Law of Harmonies of Johannes Kepler which states that: The ratio of the squares of the periods ...

    Mercury is the closest plant to the Sun. It is small, rocky and hot. Venus is the second planet. It is about the same size as the Earth. It is rocky with a think hot atmosphere. Earth is the third planet. It is rocky with a breathable atmosphere. Mars is the fourth planet. It is rocky and smaller than Earth. It has a thin atmosphere.

    A planet's mass does not affect a planet's orbit around the Sun. Kepler's laws state that a planet's orbit is an ellipse, it sweeps out an equal area per unit of time. The third law p^2=a^3 relates period to semi major axis distance. In fact the third law as stated only works if the period is in years and the semi-major axis is in Astronomical Units (AU). These laws apply to all planets ...
