The average distance between the planet and the star is:
R=9.36*10^11 m
Orbital velocity v=√{(G*M)/R},
G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,
M = mass of the star
R =distance from the planet to the star.
v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius
ωR=√{(G*M)/R},
ω=2π/T,
T = orbital period of the planet
To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation
(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}
{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,
(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,
(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,
R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,
R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},
Substitute values
R=9.36*10^11 m
As was already said, Earth is located roughly 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) from the Sun on average. It is 1 AU. Mars is on our fictitious football field's three-yard line. On average, the distance between the Sun and the red planet is around 142 million miles (228 million kilometres).
