Halley’s comet has a period of approximately 76 years, and it moves in an elliptical orbit in which its distance from the Sun at closest approach is a small fraction of its maximum distance. Estimate the comet’s maximum distance from the Sun in astronomical units (AUs) (the distance from the Earth to the Sun). (a) 6 AU (b) 12 AU (c) 20 AU (d) 28 AU (e) 35 AU
