the radius is 6.726 x 10^7 miles
which means the circumference is 2π(6.726 x 10^7) miles
You gave the time as 5.393x10^3 hours.
Since Speed = Distance/Time
the S = 2π(6.726 x 10^7) miles/5.393x10^3 hours
= appr 7.826 x 10^4 mph
= appr 78,362 mph
The calculations above assume the orbits are circular.
Of course Kepler hundreds of years ago found that the orbits
of the planets are elliptical.
The mean (average) distance between Venus and the Sun is 6.726 X 10^7
miles
If Venus makes one complete trip around the Sun in approximately 5.393x10^3 hours (224.7 days), how fast (in miles per hour) does Venus travel around the Sun?
