(distance between Earth and Venus) = a Ã cos(e) Similarly, with a little more trigonometry: (distance between Venus and the Sun) = a Ã sin(e) The greatest elongation of Venus is about 46 degrees, so by this reasoning, the Sun-Venus distance is about 72% of the Sun-Earth distance.
exists and is an alternate of . Yes, you can ski on Mauna Kea (Hawaiian for 'white mountain'). It's a 13,796' (4205 meter) volcanic mountain whose summit sometimes gets a skiable/boardable mantle of snow.
