(distance between Earth and Venus) = a Ã cos(e) Similarly, with a little more trigonometry: (distance between Venus and the Sun) = a Ã sin(e) The greatest elongation of Venus is about 46 degrees, so by this reasoning, the Sun-Venus distance is about 72% of the Sun-Earth distance.
exists and is an alternate of . Yes, you can ski on Mauna Kea (Hawaiian for 'white mountain'). It's a 13,796' (4205 meter) volcanic mountain whose summit sometimes gets a skiable/boardable mantle of snow.

The volcano 'Mauna Kea' is the highest peak of the Hawaiian Islands and - by the way - the highest mountain of the world. The mountain measures 10,205m from the bottom of the sea to its summit. So, it is 6,000m below sea level and 4,205m above sea level.
