By Kepler`s 3rd Law:
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to a cube of semi-major axis of its orbit:
T² = R³
T = 1.88
1.88² = R³
3.5344 = R³
R = ∛ 3.5344 = 1.524 A U
1 Astronomic Unit = 149,600,000 km ( or the distance: Earth to the Sun )
1.524 * 149,600,600 = 227,990,400 <span>km
The average distance from Mars to the Sun is 227,990,400 km.</span>

What is the best description of a mechanical wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

Mercury was named after the roman god of speed why is it an appropriate name for the planet
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Because it's the planet in our solar system with the shortest,
fastest orbit around the sun ... only 88 Earth days.

The people who named it didn't know that ... they still thought that
the sun and all the planets revolve around the Earth.  But they did
see it zip from one side of the sun to the other, faster than any other
planet ... the result of having the shortest, fastest orbit of any planet.
