determine earth to sun distance in csharp

To determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun in C#, we can use the following equation based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

Distance = (2 * Semi-Major Axis) - (Perihelion Distance)

Where:

• Semi-Major Axis = the average distance between the Earth and the Sun
• Perihelion Distance = the closest distance between the Earth and the Sun during the Earth's orbit

The values for Semi-Major Axis and Perihelion Distance are well-known and their values can be found from astronomical tables.

Here's an example C# code block to calculate the Earth to Sun distance:

main.cs
double semiMajorAxis = 1.496e8; // in kilometers
double perihelionDistance = 1.471e8; // in kilometers

double distance = (2 * semiMajorAxis) - perihelionDistance;
Console.WriteLine($"Distance between Earth and Sun: {distance} kilometers");

This will output the distance between the Earth and the Sun in kilometers.
