Question

Which planets diameter is approximately 1/200 of the sun's diameter?explain

Answer 1

Mercury is much smaller still, only 1/200 the diameter of the sun as seen during the transit, only 10 arc-seconds across. This is like viewing that same quarter from 3-1/2 miles away!

Answer 2

Mars

Explanation:

Sun is the brightest object in the sky of the Earth. It is a giant spherical star, composed of hot plasma that is located at the center of the Solar System. The diameter of the Sun is about 1.391 million km.

Mars, also known as the Red Planet, is one of the four terrestrial planets. It is the fourth planet of the Solar System. It is the second-smallest planet having diameter of about 6,779 km.

Now, diameter of Mars ÷ diameter of the Sun ≈ 6,779 km ÷ 1391000 km ≈ 1 ÷ 200

⇒ diameter of Mars ≈ (1 ÷ 200) × diameter of the Sun

Therefore, the diameter of Mars is approximately 1/200 of the diameter of the Sun.
