The distance from the earth to the sun is known as an astronomical unit (au). this distance is also equal to 1.496e+011 m. neptune has an orbit with an average diameter of 8.80e+009 km. what is the distance from the sun to neptune in au?

a. 24.5 au
b. 36.3 au
c. 29.4 au
d. 68.5 au
e. 55.8 au

The distance from the Sun to Neptune is 29,41 AU.

Explanation:

We know, from the sentence, that the orbit of Neptune has an average diameter around 8.80*10⁹km.

Now, we can calculate the radius of this orbit, which is equivalent to the distance from thsi planet to the Sun. Let's recall tha the radius is the half of the diameter.

Ok, we know that 1.496*10¹¹m is an AU, therefore we have:

Finally, the distance R is 29,41 AU.
