CT Only: Error in Scouts Book 6

[ReaverKing]

Hi Folks,

Can someone tell me if I'm wrong, but is the Planetary Orbits table on page 28 of Book 6 incorrect for the orbit distances involved?

1 AU is about 150 million kilometers but the Radius column is in '000 Km (thousand kilometers?)

Am I reading Radius incorrectly?

Cheers,

Brett.

You're correct. I think this is in the errata.

Hello ReaverKing and welsh,

Hi Folks,

Yes, per Consolidated CT Errata v1.1 (02/01/14) p. 19 the column header of Radius '000 km should read million km. The errata entry also references CT LBB 6 p. 46.

The copy of CT LBB 6 1983 I have has the printing numbers of 7 through 15 and the table on p. 28 has the column header of million km.
