Moon diameter - 2,160 miles Sun diameter - 864,000 miles 
So, in terms of diameter the Sun is 400 times bigger then the Moon. If we divide 150,000,000 km by 384,000 km we get 390.625 almost the same number. 
The Sun and the Moon have sizes which vary a small amount as seen from Earth. 
The Sun appears largest about January 4th and smallest around July 4th.

The planet Neptune orbits the Sun. Its orbital radius is 30.130.130, point, 1 astronomical units (\text{AU})(AU)left parenthesis
lord [1]

Answer:

The distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

Explanation:

As it is given that the Neptune's orbit is circular, the formula that we have to use is the circumference of a circle in order to find the distance it travels in a single orbit around the Sun. In other words, you can say that the circumference of the circle is <em>equivalent</em> to the distance it travels around the Sun in a single orbit.

<em>The circumference of the circle = Distance Travelled (in a single orbit) = 2*π*R ---- (A)</em>

Where,

<em>R = Orbital radius (in this case) = 30.1 AU</em>

<em />

Plug the value of R in the equation (A):

<em>(A) => The circumference of the circle = 2*π*(30.1)</em>

<em> The circumference of the circle = </em><em>60.2π</em>

Therefore, the distance the planet Neptune travels in a single orbit around the Sun is <em>60.2π </em><em>AU.</em>

American Football Field Uses A Field That Is 100.0 Yd Long, Whereas A Soccer Field Is 100.0m Long. Which Field Is Longer And By
postnew [5]
Note that
1 yd = 0.9144 m

Therefore,
The length of an American Football field is
(100 yds)*(09144 m/yd) = 91.44 m

Because the soccer field is 110 m long, its length exceeds the American Football Field by
100 - 91.44 = 8.56 m
or
(8.56/.9144) =  9.36 yd
This difference is equivalent to (8.56/91.44)*100 = 9.4%

Answer:
The Soccer Field is longer by
8.56 m, or
9.36 yd, or
9.4%

The velocity versus time graph of particle A is tangent to the velocity versus time graph for particle B at point O. What is the
lara [203]
As velocities are tangent, the value of both Particle A and Particle B would be same for that point O (Intersecting point)

a = v / t
Here, v = 7, t = 6
So, a = 7/6
a = 1.17 
As the graph is decreasing, value of acceleration would be negative.
So, a = -1.17 m/s²

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
