If i make a planet thats 2.37525 x 10^5 in dimeter and is 90,000,000 how far is it from the sun?
To calculate the distance between a planet and the sun, you need to provide the planet's orbital radius, not its diameter. However, assuming you meant the planet's orbital radius is 90,000,000 km, we can proceed with the calculation.
The distance between a planet and the sun is given by the equation:
Distance = Orbital Radius + Planet's Radius
Given:
Orbital Radius = 90,000,000 km
Planet's Radius = (2.37525 x 10^5 km) / 2 (since the radius is half the diameter)
Plug in the values:
Planet's Radius = (2.37525 x 10^5 km) / 2 = 1.187625 x 10^5 km
Distance = 90,000,000 km + 1.187625 x 10^5 km
Distance = 90,118,762.5 km
Therefore, the planet is approximately 90,118,762.5 km away from the sun.
To determine the distance of the planet from the sun, more information is required. The diameter of the planet alone doesn't provide enough data to calculate its distance from the sun. However, if you know the planet's orbital period (the time it takes to complete one revolution around the sun), the distance can be estimated using Kepler's Third Law.
Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period (T) is directly proportional to the cube of the average distance between the planet and the sun (r). The equation is as follows:
T^2 = k * r^3
Where 'k' is a constant.
If you provide the planet's orbital period or any additional relevant information, I'll be able to assist you in calculating the distance from the sun.
To calculate the distance of your planet from the sun, we need to convert the diameter of the planet from scientific notation to standard notation.
2.37525 x 10^5 can be written as:
2.37525 * 100,000 = 237,525 miles
Now, we have the diameter of the planet as 237,525 miles.
To determine the distance from the sun, we need to know the unit of measurement for the given 90,000,000 value.
Assuming the value is in miles, we can calculate the distance as:
Distance from Sun = Distance traveled by Light per day * Number of days
The distance traveled by light per day is approximately 186,282 miles.
So, the distance from the sun to your planet would be:
Distance from Sun = 186,282 miles/day * 90,000,000 miles/(186,282 miles/day)
Simplifying the equation:
Distance from Sun = 90,000,000 miles
Therefore, your planet is approximately 90 million miles away from the sun.
