Question

If Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be in standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work.

Answer 1

You need the radius of all the orbits
earth radius is 150 million km
1.  150 million x 10 = 1500 million
From the website below Saturn would be the closest at 1,429 million km
1,500,000,000 - 1,429,000,000 = 71,000,000 km = 7.1 * 10^7 km
I hope this helps :D
