The orbital period of jupiter is 11.86 years. what is its distance from the sun? a. 3.7 au b. 5.2 au c. 37 au d. 52 au

The distance between the sun and the Jupiter is 5.2 AU.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The orbital time period of Jupiter,

Since,

We need to find the distance from the sun. It can be calculated using Kepler's third law. It is mathematically given by :

a = distance from sun

G universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of sun

Since,

So,

a = 5.189 AU

or

a = 5.2 AU

So, the distance from the sun is 5.2 AU. Hence, the correct option is (b).

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.

it is a solid
