Approximately
Explanation:
A rough approximation can be deduced from the following data:
-
The Earth's mean distance from the sun is approximately
#150# million kilometers. -
The Earth's orbit is roughly circular.
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula
So in the case of the Earth's orbit, it is roughly:
#2pi * 150 \ "million km" ~~ 940 \ "million km"#
