Question

7. Calculate: Look at the column labeled "Mean Orbital Radius (AU)" in the chart from question 6. Use a calculator to cube ("third power") the orbital radius of each planet. In your answer, list each planet by name and its orbital radius^3 value. Separate EACH planet's answer with a comma. (Ex answer: Mercury=_______, Venus=______, etc) *

Answer 1

Answer:

1. the orbital radius of mercury is 5.79 x 10^7 km.

2. the orbital radius of Venus is 1.08 x 10^8 km.

3. the orbital radius of earth is 149.6 × 10^6 km

4. the orbital radius of mars is 228 million km

5. the orbital radius of Jupiter is 775.88 million km

6. the orbital radius of Saturn is 1.4963 billion km

7. the orbital radius of Uranus is 2.9626 billion km

8. the orbital radius of Neptune is 4.4768 billion km

Explanation:

The orbital radius refers to the distance of the planets from the sun. Those planets which have large orbital radius are far from the sun while those planets which have low orbital radius are near to the sun. The orbital radius of mercury is the lowest while the orbital radius of Neptune is the highest.
