The planet Mercury travels in an elliptical orbit with eccentricity 0.203. Its minimum distance from the Sun is 4.5 x 10^7 km. If the perihelion distance from a planet to the Sun is a(1 - e) and the aphelion distance is a(1 + e), find the maximum distance (in km) from Mercury to the Sun. Pick from the following:1. 7.7 x 10^7 km.2. 6.6 x 10^7 km.3. 6.8 x 10^7 km.

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Eccentricity

Minimum distance from the Sun

Perihelion distance from a planet to the Sun is

Aphelion distance

Generally the equation for Perihelion distance is mathematically given by

Generally the equation for Aperihelion distance is mathematically given by

Option C

maya’s expression will generate the wrong sum because she violated the commutative property.
