How to measure the distance from Earth to Sun and how to calculate the time taken by light to travel to Earth's surface?
The distance from the Sun to the Earth varies about 3% over the course of a year, from a minimum or "perihelion" distance of about 91,500,000 miles to a maximum or "aphelion" distance of about 94,500,000 miles. 93 million miles is a good average figure. Details of how to measure this distance are given later. The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second. With an average distance of 93 million miles and an approximate speed of light of 186,000 miles per second, the math becomes really easy; it takes light 500 seconds to reach the Earth. Here's one method of how to measure the distance to the Sun, using radar technology: (You can't use radar to measure the distance to the Sun directly because of the nature of the Sun's surface.) 1) Wait for Earth, Venus and the Sun to line up with Venus (more or less) directly between us and the Sun. 2) Measure the distance to Venus using radar. 3) Knowing the Earth to Venus distance, use Kepler's Third Law to find the Earth to Sun distance. (Kepler's Third Law will give the ratio of the distances of Earth and Venus from the Sun. Thus, knowing the Earth to Venus distance, you can find the Earth to Sun distance.) See the "Related Link" below for more about measuring the distance to the Sun.
What is the distance from the sun to the star vega?
The distance from the sun to the star Vega is roughly 25.3 light years.
Why does Pluto have more moons than earth if earth has more mass?
A good bit of "luck", and the fact that Pluto is so far from the Sun; the Sun's gravity interferes very little with the weak gravity of tiny Pluto, and its even smaller moons.
What is the Jupiter moons relative position from the sun?
They orbit Jupiter so would share that planets position in relation to the Sun.
What is the maximum distance for rg6 coax?
For use in networks the maximum segment length would be 500 meters
What is the moons distance from the sun?
150 million kilometers away from the sun
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.
How many moons can fit between mercury and the sun?
The average distance is 57.9 million kilometres.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
When is the earth is at its maximum distance from the sun?
The Earth is at its maximum distance from the sun during aphelion, which occurs around July 4th each year. At this point, the Earth is about 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers) away from the sun.
A planets maximum distance from the sun is the what of its orbit?
The apogee.
When the earth is at the maximum distance from the sun it is called?
Aphelion.
How close does the moon get to the sun?
The moons distance from Earth varies during its orbit, but is around 363,100 km or 225,620 miles at its closest (Perigee). Although this seems quite far, its only a small distance when compared to the Earth sun distance, which is 147,098,290km or 91,402,600 miles at its closest. So the moons closest distance to the sun will be around 146,735,200km.
What is Callisto's distance from the sun?
Callisto's average distance from the sun is about 1,882,700,000 kilometers. It is the second farthest of Jupiter's four largest moons.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Do the densities of the Galilean moons increase with distance from Jupiter just as the densities of the planets increase with distance from the Sun?
To answer the question very literally: Yes. The Galilean satellites follow the same pattern of density versus increasing distance from Jupiter that the planets' density follows versus distance from the sun. The specific pattern is: No pattern at all. Earth ... 3rd from the sun ... is the most dense planet, while Saturn ... 6th planet from the sun ... is the least dense. So there is no "just as" to compare to.
How many numbers of moons are on the sun?
There are no moons on the sun.
