Is there a formula for this. I've read over n over again, and can't seem to figure it. I've checked out the examples, but its not clear to me....so if anyone knows this stuff, please....please tell how u do a problem like this.

The Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Earth and the sun - about 150 million km. Just multiply that by 0.7

The solution is simple arithmetic, not serious math. You don't need a "formula" for this.
To solve this:
1. Understand that an AU (astronomical unit) is the average distance from the earth to the sun.
2. Find that distance (in kilometers) - wikipedia, astronomy.com, nasa.gov, all kinds of places to look (they even have this information in real books)
3. Multiply that distance by .7 to get the distance for Venus
Or you could look up Venus's orbital distance on wikipedia.

On Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the earth and the sun. That's usually about 93,000,000 miles. Convert miles to kilometers. 1 mile equals about 1.609344 kilometers. So mulitply 93,000,000 times 1.609344 =149,668,992.
Therefore one AU is equal to 149,668,992 km.
The orbit of Venus is approximatly .7 AU. So just multiply 149,668,992 times .7. and the answer is...104,768,294 km (Observationally this varies.. its in a range between 104,718,000 and 104,770,000)
But as they say, this is close enough for government work.

I don't. I go to onlineconversion.com!
0.7 astronomical unit [1996] = 104 718 509.483 7 kilometer

One AU is about 150 million km, so just multiply that by 0.7.
150*0.7=105 million km.

well: see when the "Sun travels around our Earth it has proven
as a fact that we'd known called Solar Eclipse yes !" also
Venus follows too when it's lined up with Planet Mars .Because
some times they'd Rotate 24 hrs like (0.0291666 miles) shown
by Dividing 24 hrs into 0.7 AU

0.7 AU is the same distance whether you measure it in miles or km.
