Respuesta :

0.72 is correct. I saw previous questions asking the same thing and people were saying 3.56 AU is correct IT IS NOT 3.56 THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 0.72 thank you

Answer : The average distance of venus from the sun in astronomical unit is, 0.72 AU

Solution : Given,

Average distance = [tex](108.2\times 10^6)Km[/tex]

And the conversion factor is,

[tex]1AU=1.5\times 10^8Km[/tex]

As, [tex]1Km=\frac{1AU}{1.5\times 10^8}[/tex]

So, [tex](108.2\times 10^6)Km=\frac{1AU}{1.5\times 10^8}\times (108.2\times 10^6)=0.72AU[/tex]

Therefore, the average distance of venus from the sun in astronomical unit is, 0.72 AU
