Q. The planet Neptune orbits the Sun. Its orbital radius is 30.1 astronomical units (AU).Assuming Neptune's orbit is circular, what is the distance it travels in a single orbit around the Sun?Give your answer in terms of π.□ AU
Calculate Circumference: To find the distance Neptune travels, we need to calculate the circumference of its orbit, which is a circle.Circumference of a circle=2×π×radius.
Find Orbital Radius: Neptune's orbital radius is given as 30.1 AU.So, the circumference (distance traveled in one orbit) = 2×π×30.1 AU.
Perform Calculation: Now, let's do the calculation.Circumference = 2×π×30.1=60.2×π AU.
