Bode's Numbers
The planets have a mathematical order. The order starts 0. The order then goes like this: 0+4 divided by 10= 0.4. Mercury is located 0.4 A.U.'s away from the sun. Then you do 3+4 divided by 10= 0.7, which is Venus's distance from the sun. Then it's 6+4 divided by 10= 1 A.U. Which is our distance from the sun. (approx 93,000,000 miles) These numbers were discovered by Johann Bode.(Hence their name, Bode's numbers)
