Jupiter orbits the Sun in an elliptical path with the Sun at one focus. At perihelion, Jupiter is closest to the Sun at 7.4052 × 108 km. If the eccentricity of the orbit is 0.0489, determine the distance at aphelion (farthest point between Jupiter and the Sun). Round to the nearest million km.
The moon’s orbit around the Earth is elliptical with the Earth at one focus and with eccentricity 0.0549. If the distance between the moon and Earth at the closest point is 363,300 km, determine the distance at the farthest point. Round to the nearest 100 km.
The Hale-Bopp comet, discovered in $1995,$ has an elliptical orbit with eccentricity 0.9951 and the length of the major axis is 356.5 AU. Find a polar equation for the orbit of this comet. How close to the sun does it come?
