Chapter 22, Problem 1P
Atmospheric jet streams on Venus travel at about 300 km/hr. How long does it take a jet stream to circle the planet once? How many times does the jet stream circle the planet during one solar rotation of the planet? (Notes: The circumference of a sphere is c = πd, where d is diameter. The diameter and solar rotation period of Venus are given in Celestial Profile: Venus.)
