between the earth and the sun

The ratio of the mean distance of the Mars from the Sun to the mean distance of the Earth from the Sun is 3 : 2. If the mean distance of the Earth from the Sun is 240 million miles, then what is the mean distance of the Mars from the Sun? ..

The aphelion distance, perihelion distance of the earth from the sun are about 152 Gm and about 147 Gm. What is the length of the semi major axis of the orbit of the Earth around the sun? [1Gm = 10 9 meters. ] => 147 Gm or 152 Gm or 149.5 Gm or 5 Gm..

The sun is at the center of the solar system. Its mass is about 740 times as great as that of all the planets combined. The huge mass of the sun creates the gravitation that keeps the other objects traveling around the sun in an orderly manner. Sun The s..

The Titius-bode law states that the distances of the planet from the sun follow a certain pattern when expressed in 'astronomical units' (A.U). [One AU is the distance of the Earth from the sun.] The pattern is: 0.7, 1.0, 1.6, ...... Identify the pattern and use it to ..

We know that energy falling in one second on the unit area of the earth's surface held normal to sun's rays is called solar constant S. Experimentally, S has been found to be equal to 1388 Wm - 2 . Let R be the radius of the sun and r be the radius of earth's..

Green house gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a green house. Green houses are like small glass houses whose transparent glass roof and walls allow sunrays to pass through. It keeps the heat from escaping, thus allowing vegetables and flowers to grow even in cold weather. ..

Month by month, as the earth orbits the sun, we can watch the constellations move across the sky. In summer, in northern skies, we can see the little bear with its long tail. In winter, a very different pattern of stars lies above. Orion, the hunter, one of the most beautiful co..

A real object can rotate as it moves. For example, a cricket ball may be spinning while it is moving, as a whole, in a trajectory. Also, a body may vibrate as it moves, for example, a falling water droplet. These complications can be avoided by considering the motion of a very small body called a p..
