Are my answers to the following two questions true or false?
Scenario:
Venus lags behind Earth 33.67 orbital degrees.
1) How many Earth days and orbital degrees must Venus travel to align
with Earth and the Sun?
2) How many orbital degrees will Mercury travel in this timeframe?
***Note: Use average orbital velocities and distances for all
calculations.
My answers are:
1) 87.5 degrees for Venus and a period of 54.6 Earth days.
2) In this timeframe Mercury would travel an average 223.5 orbital
degrees.
