...0.2. How close does Mercury? Can someone go through how to do this? I know how to calculate the perihelion and everything, i just don't know how to calculate distance from the sun.
Mercury has a Aphelion of 69,816,900 km or 0.466 697 AU away and a Perihelion of 46,001,200 km or 0.307 499 AU away and a semi major axis of 57,909,100 km or 0.387 098 AU away and since it has an ellipse orbit and not a perfect circle the distance changes
