Answer:
The distance it travels in a single orbit around the sun is [tex]60.2\pi[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The planet Neptune orbits the sun. its orbital radius is 30.1 astronomical units (AU). Assuming Neptune orbit is circular.
To find : What is the distance it travels in a single orbit around the sun?
Solution :
The radius of the orbital is 30.1 AU.
We have given that assume orbit is circular.
So, distance travels in a single orbit is circumference of the orbit.
Circumference is [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
r=30.1 AU
[tex]C=2\pi \times 30.1[/tex]
[tex]C=60.2\pi[/tex]
Therefore, The distance it travels in a single orbit around the sun is [tex]60.2\pi[/tex]
