    To determine the direction of Mars as seen from Earth relative to the x-axis, we first calculate the difference between Earth's and Mars' position vectors to get a vector pointing from Earth to Mars. We then use the dot product rules to find the angle between this Earth-Mars vector and the x-axis. This will give us the direction of Mars in the sky from Earth's perspective.

    Problem 6

    In order to determine the direction at which we see Mars from Earth with respect to
    the x-hat axis, we must first compute the difference of the position vectors of Earth and
    Mars. With this new vector pointing from Earth to Mars, we can use the rules of dot
    product to find the angle between this vector and the x-hat axis.
