I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.
I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:
Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>
</span>
</span>
</span>
<span>
Distance at Perihelion
(</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>
Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is 1/2 of the orbital period.
</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>
1/2 (50%) of that is 43.9845 Earth days
The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is
1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098 AU
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
Answer is Option C
hope it helps you
Answer:
- changes state
- increases volume
- raises the temperature
Explanation:
it is important effect of heat on an object
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s C
