represents the motion of Earth and the planet Venus around the Sun. The orbits shown are circles. On , draw an arrow to show the direction of the force exerted by the Sun on the Earth. Information about Earth and Venus is given in the table. Use the information in the table to show that Venus has a greater speed than Earth. As Earth and Venus move in their orbits, the distance between them changes. Calculate the largest possible distance between them. distance = million km not to scale Sun Earth orbit of Earth orbit of Venus planet Venus Earth time for one orbit in (Earth) years radius of orbit / million km circumference of orbit / million km 0.7 1.0
