Question

The distance of planet Mercury from the Sun is approximately 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers, and the distance of planet Venus from the Sun is 1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers. About how many more kilometers is the distance of Venus from the Sun than the distance of Mercury from the Sun?

Answer 1

Answer: $5.2\cdot10^7\ km$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The approx distance of planet Mercury from the Sun$=5.8\cdot10^7\ km=58,000,000\ km$

The distance of planet Venus from the Sun  $=1.1\cdot10^8\ km=110,000,000\ km$

We can see the

The difference distance of planet Venus from the Sun is more than the distance of planet Mercury from the Sun.

The difference between the distance = $110,000,000-58,000,000=52,000,000=5.2\cdot10^7\ km$

Hence, the distance of Venus from the Sun is $5.2\cdot10^7\ km$ more than the distance of Mercury from the Sun.

Answer 2

mercury : 5.8 • 107 = 620.6
Venus : 1.1 • 108 =118.8

620.6 - 118.8 = 501.8

so Venus is about 501.8 kilometers from then sun then mercury
