Answer

The distance from one focus to the other focus is $~~5.01\times 10^9~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the distance $d$ from one focus to the other focus: $d = 2ea$ $d = (2)(0.0167)(1.50\times 10^{11}~m)$ $d = 5.01\times 10^9~m$ The distance from one focus to the other focus is $~~5.01\times 10^9~m$
