Question

The earth takes 1.0 year to travel around the sun. How far away is a planet that takes 64 years to go around the sun?

Answer 1

The earth taes 1 year to orbit the sun and is about 150, 000, 000km. Given that, use the rule of 3 to find your answer:

1 - 150, 000, 000

64 - x

(150, 000, 000 * 64) / 1= x

9, 600, 000, 000 / 1

9, 600, 000, 000 km.

A planet located 9, 600, 000, 000 km from the sun takes about 64 years to complete its orbit around the sun.

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~9,~600,~000,~000~km.}$
