Diameter of earth's orbit around sun

Answer»

SEMI major axis = 93 million miles

Explanation:

  • the orbit of Earth around the sun is an ellipse so the AVERAGE distance between the Earth is GIVEN by the semi major axis of the ELLIPSE .

the semi major axis of the earth's orbit is about 1.49 × 10 (8)km

1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km= 1/1.6 = 0.625 miles

1.49× 10(8) km = 9.312× 10 (7) miles or

semi major axis =93 million miles
