2. Mars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars

   Mars's average distance from the Sun is roughly 230 million km (143 million mi), and its orbital period is 687 (Earth) days. The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds. [185] A Martian year is equal to 1.8809 Earth years, or 1 year, 320 days, and 18.2 hours. [2]

3. Orbit of Mars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_Mars

   Extra-close oppositions of Mars happen every 15 to 17 years, when we pass between Mars and the Sun around the time of its perihelion (closest point to the Sun in orbit). The minimum distance between Earth and Mars has been declining over the years, and in 2003 the minimum distance was 55.76 million km, nearer than any such encounter in almost ...

   One particularly distant body is 90377 Sedna, which was discovered in November 2003.It has an extremely eccentric orbit that takes it to an aphelion of 937 AU. [2] It takes over 10,000 years to orbit, and during the next 50 years it will slowly move closer to the Sun as it comes to perihelion at a distance of 76 AU from the Sun. [3] Sedna is the largest known sednoid, a class of objects that ...

   Phobos is about 25 kilometers across, and on a very low orbit around Mars — it’s just 6,000 kilometers above the surface. So even though it’s tiny, it can appear as large as 0.25° across ...

Mars: Planet of the Solar System 1609 − 1619 2.6 AU when Mars is diametrically opposed to Earth Kepler correctly characterized Mars and Earth's orbits in the publication Astronomia nova. It had been conjectured that the fixed stars were much farther away than the ...

8. Solar radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius

   The result was a measured radius of 696,342 ± 65 kilometres (432,687 ± 40 miles). [4] Haberreiter, Schmutz & Kosovichev (2008) [1] determined the radius corresponding to the solar photosphere to be 695,660 ± 140 kilometres (432,263 ± 87 miles). This new value is consistent with helioseismic estimates; the same study showed that previous ...
