solar distance

They were two billion miles, or a little over twenty solar distances, from it now.

You can get the solar distance and latitude for today, or some arbritary date during the mission.

The finite speeds involved had been infinite for all the practical purposes of solar distances.

Such an enormous change in solar distance would cause a typical comet to increase in brightness dramatically.

At solar distances, the planets are just too tiny and often too washed-out by the light of their suns to be spotted visually.

Sail temperature also changes with solar distance and sail angle, which changes sail dimensions.

Dimensions of the units varied from planet to planet depending on solar distance and atmospheric composition and density.

Sail operating temperatures are a function of solar distance, sail angle, reflectivity, and front and back emissivities.

We'd only be a couple solar distances away-a solar distance is the diameter of the solar system.

As we now know, Halley rather over-estimated the value of the transit of Venus, as a means of determining the solar distance.

Khrest, I hope you don't claim that this incredible coincidence of three planets with the same orbit, solar distance and correlated positions has come about as a natural development?

Gallia's path, extending beyond the orbit of Jupiter, lay clearly defined before their eyes, the progress along the orbit and the solar distances being inserted for each month separately.

Hug-Bell's orbit lies entirely outside the orbit of Mars, but at its aphelion overlaps in solar distance with the orbit of Jupiter.

Moments were precious; but Hector Servadac resolved that he would adopt a device to secure that at least some record of their excursion in solar distances should survive themselves.

Although Ptolemy's procedure is theoretically workable, it is very sensitive to small changes in the data, so much so that changing a measurement by a few percent can make the solar distance infinite.

Three hundred fifty-eight miles per second; course is right ascension fifteen hours, eight minutes, twenty-seven seconds, declination minus seven degrees, three minutes; solar distance one hundred and ninety-two million four hundred eighty thousand miles.

Floating on a lake on a moon of Jupiter, all the colors suffused with the gray of solar distance: Zo felt little bursts of fliers exhilaration, and she said to the locals, This is so beautiful.

The force changes with solar distance and sail angle, which changes the billow in the sail and deflects some elements of the supporting structure, resulting in changes in the sail force and torque.
