Question

The distance from Earth to the moon is estimated to be 2.52 x 105 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 400 times farther. Find the approximate distance from Earth to the sun.

Answer 1

Answer: $9\times10^7\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The estimated distance from Earth to the moon$=2.25\times10^5\ miles$

If the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 400 times farther.

Then, the distance from Earth to the sun$=400\times2.25\times10^5$

$=900\times10^5\ miles\\=9\times10^7\ miles$

Therefore, the approximate distance from Earth to the sun=$9\times10^7\ miles$
