Question

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000. How many kilometers does it take for the moon to travel one day of its orbit around the earth

Answer 1

As per the statement;

The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000 km

From the above information,

The ratio between Distance and Days is;
`(2413000)/(28)`

then,

the distance it takes for the moon to travel one day of its orbit around the earth we have;

`(2413000)/(28) * 1 = (2413000)/(28)=86178.57` km.

Therefore, the distance in kilometer does the moon cover in 1 day is 86178.57 km
