What is the radius of a "heliosynchronous" orbit
The Sun rotates approximately every 26 days. What is the radius of a "heliosynchronous" orbit, that is an orbit that stays in the same spot of the sun.
r = ((GMT^2)/(4pi^2))^1/3
The suns mass is 1.99 X 10^30
Time = seconds
G = 6.67 X 10^-11
I'm not sure really except that I know how to find the radius but I'm not sure if its asking the same thing.
