Assume that the planet’s orbit is circular at a radius 500 million kilometers from its star.
Determine the speed of the planet (miles/second) around the star if there are 300 earth days in its year.
------------
Find the circumference, convert to miles.
Divide that by 300 --> miles/day
Divide by 86400 --> mi/sec
