General equation of Ellipse centered at (h,k) is given as
where a is the radius along x-axis
and b is radius along y-axis.
Given : The equation of elliptical path of Earth as
Comparing the equation with the general equation, we get
(h,k) as (-2.5,0)
a =
b =
We have the Sun located at the coordinate (0,0).
Hence, the distance between Sun and Earth in July = 149.5 + 2.5 =152
∴ Earth's distance from the Sun in July is 152 million kilometers.
