You need to know the distance from Earth to mars first and then use Distance over time to get the speed
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have no idea how to do that.

Alright, so you know the difference between Mars and Earth is .52 AU right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I guess I do now lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And you know that it took 8.3 minutes to go from sun to earth. So now you have to add in the extra .52 because it's more distance so it will take more time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
