To find the ratio of the maximum speed to the minimum speed of the Earth's orbit, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between speed and eccentricity The maximum speed (V_max) and minimum speed (V_min) of an object in an elliptical orbit can be expressed in terms of the eccentricity (e) of the orbit. The formulas are: - V_max = V_avg * (1 + e) - V_min = V_avg * (1 - e) Where V_avg is the average speed in the orbit. However, since we are looking for the ratio, we can simplify our calculations. ...
