Find the distance that the earth travels in eight days in its path around the sun. assume that a year has 365 days and that the path of the earth around the sun is a circle of radius 93 million miles. [note: the path of the earth around the sun is actually an ellipse with the sun at one focus
The speed of earth will be found as follows: speed=distance/time distance=93 million time=365 speed=(93)/365=254, 794.5205 mi/day thus distance moved for 8 days will be: distance=speed*time =(254794.5205)×8 =2,038,356.164 miles
