Question If Mars travels at 24,126 meters per second in orbit around the Sun and takes 1.88 earth years to complete its orbit, what is the total distance in miles Mars travels throughout its complete orbit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number and do not include units or commas in your answer.) Note: There are 1,609 meters in a mile. Use 365 for the number of days in an Earth year.

To find the total distance Mars travels throughout its complete orbit around the Sun, follow these steps: 1. **Calculate the Time in Seconds:** \[ \text{Time} = 1.88 \text{ years} \times 365 \text{ days/year} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} \] \[ \text{Time} = 1.88 \times 365 \times 24 \times 3600 \approx 59,287,680 \text{ seconds} \] 2. **Calculate the Distance in Meters:** \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 24,126 \text{ m/s} \times 59,287,680 \text{ s} \approx 1,430,374,567,680 \text{ meters} \] 3. **Convert Meters to Miles:** Since there are 1,609 meters in a mile: \[ \text{Distance in Miles} = \frac{1,430,374,567,680 \text{ meters}}{1,609} \approx 888,983,608 \text{ miles} \] (Rounded to the nearest whole number) **Final Answer:** 888983608
