In one Earth year how many revolutions will Mercury complete compared with Neptune?The differences in their distance from the sun would make the...

One Earth year is equal to 365.26 earth
days.


One Mercury year is equal to 87.96 earth
days.


One Neptune year is equal to 164.81 earth
years.


First, change 164.81 earth years into earth days so
that we are dealing with the same unit of measurement.


If
one Earth year = 365.26 earth days and one Neptune year = 164.81 earth years, then
164.81 * 365.26 = 60,198.5006 earth days.


One Earth year is
equal to 365.26 earth days.


One Mercury year is equal to
87.96 earth days.


One Neptune year is equal to 60,198.5006
earth days.



Earth year compared to Mercury
year:


Earth year / Mercury
year


365.26 / 87.96 = 4.15257
revolutions


Mercury will complete 4.15257
revolutions in one earth
year.



Earth year compared
to Neptune year:


Earth year / Neptune
year


365.26 / 60,198.5006 = 0.00607
revolutions


Neptune will complete 0.00607
revolutions in one earth
year.



Mercury revolutions
compared to Neptune revolutions:


4.15257 / 0.00607 =
684.1167 revolutions


Mercury will complete
684.1167 revolutions in the time it takes Neptune to complete 1
revolution.
