Find the distance between Venus and Sun. |
|
Answer» Solution :The distance between Earth and Sun is considered as one A.U. When venus is at MAXIMUM elongation, venus makes `90^(@)` to Sun. The trigonometric relation is satisfied by this right ANGLED triangle. `SINTHETA=(r)/(R)` Where R = 1 AU `r=Rsintheta=(1AU)(sin46^@)` Here `sin46^(@)=0.77`. Hence Venus is at a distance of 0.77 AU from Sun. |
