Question

Speaking of Mercury, approximately how long is one year on the planet closest to the Sun? The sizes of the objects in our model of the solar system are not to scale; however, the relative orbital periods around the Sun are. So you can answer this question by counting the revolutions of Mercury during one Earth year. a) Approximately 120 Earth days b) Approximately 370 Earth days c) Approximately 90 Earth days d) Approximately 50 Earth days

Step 1

It also states that the relative orbital periods around the Sun are accurate in the model, and we can answer by counting Mercury's revolutions during one Earth year. Step 2: Recall the orbital period of Mercury. A year on a planet is the time it takes for that Show more…
