You mean perhaps 1.5^2?
- dav_Oz 4y agoYeah, ~ 1.5x in relation to their respective aphelions (farthest orbital distance to the Sun) But, yes - if you will - the area of the solar system consequently has more than doubled; which has nicer ring to it :) To be exact if my numbers are correct: πab = πa² √(1-e²) Uranus (a = 19.19126 AU; e = 0.04717) ⇒ ~ 1155.755 AU² Neptune (a = 30.07 AU; e = 0.008678 (what a neat circle!)) ⇒ ~ 2840.54 AU² i.e. approx. 2.46x the former area
- enviclash 4y agoThis is certainly impressive, thanks!
