    Distance between Venus and Sun is 1.0864x10^11 m

    Explanation:

    Data

    T1 (Total time taken by earth to rotate around sun) = 365 days

    T2 (Total time taken by venus to rotate around sun) = 225 days

    R1 (Radius b/w Sun and earth) = 1.5x10^11m

    R2 (Distance between Venus and Sun) = ?

    Solution

    Apply Kepler Law

    (R2) ^3 / (R1) ^3 = (T1) ^2 / (T2) ^2

    (R2) ^3 / (1.5x10^11) ^3 = (225^2) / (365^2)

    R2=1.0864x10^11m
