Question 1077738
.
Venus orbits the Sun in a roughly circular path of radius 67 million miles, over the course of 224.7 Earth days. 
Find the linear speed of Venus in miles per hour as it orbits the Sun.
Can someone please help me with this? Thanks. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The length of the circular orbit is {{{2*pi*R}}} = {{{2*3.14*67000000}}} miles.


The linear speed of Venus in miles per hour as it orbits the Sun is

{{{(2*3.14*67000000)/224.7}}} miles per day, or

{{{(2*3.14*67000000)/(224.7*24)}}} miles per hour.

Use your calculator.
