Question 1093464: The Earth, in a slightly elliptical orbit around the Sun, travels at 3.04 x 10^4m/s at perihelion (the point of closest approach, Jan.3), at a distance of 147.3 million kilometers. At aphelion (the farthest distance, around July 3), 152.3 million km from the Sun, how fast is the Earth moving? Answer by ikleyn(52834) (Show Source):
