Indicate your final answer as The ans is: for each section. Thank you. Good Luck D | Question 2 5 pts The distance of the Earth from the sun is 93 000 000 miles. If there are 3.15 × 107 s in one year, find the speed of the Earth in its orbit about the sun. O 1674 miles/min O 2232 miles/min O 1116 miles/min 0 557 miles/min 4 Previous Next

Answer 1

Circumferential distance travelled in one year = 2 * pi* 93000000 miles

D = 584336233.5677 miles

Speed of Earth around the sun it its orbit = D/t = 584336233.5677 miles/3.15 *10^7 miles/s

Speed = 18.55 miles/second

Speed = 18.55 miles/second *60 s/1 min = 1116 miles/min

Answer is 1116 miles/min
