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.

The speed of the earth about the sun is 4730.15 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The distance of the earth from the sun is,

Time taken to move from the earth to the sun,

We need to find the speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun. Let it is given by v. The total distance covered divided by total time taken is called the speed of the earth. Mathematically, it is given by :

v = 4730.15 m/s

So, the speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun is 4730.15 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

d) the number of neutrons plus the number of protons

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
