Question 221 As the Earth travels around the Sun the Moon is traveling around the Earth. Find the minimum speed of the Moon (relative to the Sun) as it travels around the Sun. The Earth's orbital radius around the Sun is 1.50 x 10^11 m and the Moon's orbit has a radius of 3.85 x 10^8 m. The time for the Earth's journey around the Sun is 3.156 x 10^7 s and the Moon takes 2.36 x 10^6 s to travel around the Earth. A -4590 m/s (The negative sign indicates it travels backwards compared to the Earth's orbit.)
