Take the distances of Mars and Jupiter from the Sun in Earth-based Astronomical Units and you get nothing special:
Planet | Distance from the sun in km (000) |
Distance |
Mars | 227,940 | 1.52366 |
Jupiter | 778,330 | 5.20336 |
Let the distance of Mars be 1 and you get an entirely different perspective:
Planet | Distance from the Sun in km (000) |
Distance where Mars =1 |
Mars | 227,940 | 1.0000 |
Jupiter | 778,330 | 3.4146 |
Solar Geometry, using a ratio of 3.4142, reveals this intriguing relationship between the Sun, Mars and Jupiter:
Mars * ( √2 + 2 ) = Jupiter = 3.4142
