21. A arctic tern was born in north pole. In autumn, it flys for about 20000 km to south pole, and then return back to north pole in next spring. Using the Earth as reference frame. If the artic tern spent 60 days for its first trip from north pole to south pole, what is the averaged velocity during this 60 days? (Assume earth radius 6400 km)

According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, the mean distance D, in millions of miles, from a planet in our solar system to the sun is related to the time P, in years, that it takes for the planet to complete a revolution around the sun, and the relationship is D = 93P2/3 It takes the planet Pluto 248 years to complete a revolution around the sun. What is the mean distance from Pluto to the sun? What is the mean distance from Earth to the sun?
