The planet Mercury takes 0.24 sidereal years to go around the sun. What is the distance from the center of Mercury to the center of the sun

5.77×10¹⁰ m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Kepler's third law

P² = d³...................... Equation 1

Where P = Planet's period, d = distance between the center of the planet and the sun.

make d the subject of the formula n equation 1

d = .................. Equation 2

Given: P = 0.24 sidereal.

Substitute the value of P into equation 2

d =

d = 0.386 Au

d = 0.386×1.496×10¹¹

d = 5.77×10¹⁰ m

the answer is a. at the equator

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
