17)
Mars, the inhabited Planet, is one hundred forty-one million, five hundred thousand miles from the Sun, and she travels one thousand thirty-seven and one-third miles per hour. Her diameter is four thousand two hundred miles. Then Mr. Ali wants to know how many days will it take Mars to make one complete circumference around the Sun?
18)
Mercury is also an inhabited Planet and is thirty-six million miles from the Sun. Her diameter is three thousand miles. She travels at the same rate – one thousand thirty-seven and one-third miles per hour. How many miles does Mercury cover in making one complete circle around the Sun? What will be the number of days in the Mercurian year?
19)
Venus is sixty-seven million, two hundred thousand miles from the Sun, and she makes one complete circle around the Sun in two hundred twenty-five days, which is considered the Venusian common year. All Planets travel approximately the same rate – one thousand thirty-seven and one-third miles per hour. How many miles does Venus travel in two hundred twenty-five days? What is her area in square miles since her diameter equals seven thousand miles?
20)
Jupiter is four hundred eighty-three million miles from the Sun. She takes eleven years and nine months to make one complete circle around the Sun. Its diameter is eighty-eight thousand seven hundred miles. What is the area in square miles and how far is she from the Earth? Also, tell how many miles Jupiter travels in one common Jupiterian years.
21)
Saturn is eight hundred eighty-six million miles from the Sun. It takes her twenty-nine and one-half years
to make one complete circle around the Sun. Saturn also travels at the same rate – one thousand thirtyseven and one third miles per hour. How many miles does Saturn travel in twenty-nine and one-half years, which is considered a common year of Saturners? Its diameter is seventy-five thousand one hundred miles. Therefore, Mr. Muhammad wants to know what is the area in square miles of said, Saturn? 22)
Uranus is one billion, seven hundred eighty-two million miles from the Sun, and it takes her eightyfour years to make one complete circle around the Sun. Her diameter is thirty thousand nine-hundred miles. How far is Uranus from the Earth? How many miles does she travel in eighty-four years at the rate of one thousand thirty-seven and one-third miles per hour? What is her area in square yards?
23)
Neptune is two billion, seven hundred ninety-three million miles from the Sun. She travels around the Sun in one hundred sixty-five years. Her diameter is thirty-three thousand miles. What is her area in square miles? How many miles does she travel in one hundred sixty-five years at the rate of one thousand thirty-seven and one-third miles per hour? How far is she from the Earth?
24)
Platoon is four billion, six hundred million miles from the Sun, and she travels the same rate around the Sun as the rest of the Planets. It takes her three hundred forty-five years to make one complete circle around the Sun. Her diameter is sixty-seven thousand miles. Find out the square mileage and the number of miles she travels in three hundred forty-five years.
