∙ 13y agoThe exact distance always varies, since the planets orbits are not perfectly circular or central. the average distances, also known as the `semi-major axis`, are as follows;
Mercury, 57,909,175km
Venus, 108,208,930km
Earth, 149,597,890km

Is each planet an equal distance from one another?
sorta there are inner and outer planets the inner planets are alike and outer planets are alike to but inner and outer planets are different.
What is Johannes Kepler's first law of planetary motion?
Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be described as follows: * The path of the planets about the sun are elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun being located at one focus. (The Law of Ellipses). * An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (The Law of Equal Areas) * 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 Law of Harmonies)
What is meant by orbital time?
It is the time in which planets orbit the sun.
Should your directions to a friend for traveling from one city to another include displacements or distances?
Displacements because displacements will tell your friend how far to go and which direction to go, while distances will only tell how far to go.
Measuring the distance to a planet would probably require the use of what type of measurement?
We can use miles or kilometers to measure both the planets size and their distance from each other and the sun. Their distances from the sun can be hundreds of million km or even billions of km for the outer planets, so it can be useful to use astronomical units instead, where 1 AU (astronomical unit ) is equal to the earth - sun distance.
How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
Why would it be wrong to use the same scale to show both the relative size of planets and their distance from the sun?
The distances of the planets to the Sun are far greater than the sizes of the planets. For example: the Earth is about 12,000 km in diameter, but its distance to the Sun is 149,600,000 km.
How does the planets' distances from the sun affect their atmosphere?
It's harder for planets closer to Sun to keep their atmosphere as gas particles are carried away due to solar wind. Far away from Sun, the solar wind effect is minuscule.
How far away are the inner planets from the sun?
There are four inner, or rocky planets. these are Mercury, Venus, earth and Mars. The average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU). The average distances of the four inner planets from the sun are as follows; PlanetkmmilesAUMercury57,909,17535,983,0940.387Venus108,208,93067,237,9130.723Earth149,597,89092,955,8201Mars227,936,640141,633,2641.524
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?
yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.
How do the distances between the inner planets compare?
These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
What is its distance from the sun and planets?
there are different distances such as the closest planet mercury is 58 km away from the sun.
How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?
they have different distances from the sun
Why do the planets have distances fro the sun?
because they we're made at different times
How far is Venus from Mars in km?
It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question. All the planets orbit the Sun at different speeds. As a result the distance between any two planets is constantly changing and actual distances can vary a lot.
