The planet Jupiter has a radius of 43000 miles and rotates one revolution every 10 hours. What is the linear speed of a point on its equator, in miles per hour? The linear speed is approximately miles per hour. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
In astronomy, a unit of distance is used called the Astronomical Unit. It is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun.

You receive orders to sail due east for 24.6 mi to put your salvage ship directly over a sunken pirate ship. However, when your divers probe the ocean floor at that location and find no evidence of a ship, you radio back to your source of information, only to discover that the sailing distance was supposed to be 24.6 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far horizontally you are from the pirate ship.
