Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance from Saturn to the sun and then calculate it. 25 Points

Respuesta :

Circular velocity isw=v/r
and w=2Pi /T
So, v/r=2Pi /T
Then, r = vT/ 2Pi
T'value is given and if we know velocity we can calculate the distance between the Sun and the Saturn or the radius.
Velocity of the Saturn is approximately 9.6kms-1
Given: T = 29.49yrs
= 29.49.365.24.60.60s
Solution:
r= [{9.6×10^3}×{29.49×365×24×60×60}]÷2Pi
=1.42×10^12m
