Question

The table shown below gives the approximate distance from the sun for a few different planets. How much further (in km) from the sun is Saturn than Venus? Express your answer in scientific notation.
_______km

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.29\times10^{9}$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between sun and Saturn:

$1.4\times10^{9}$

Distance between sun and Saturn:

$1.1\times10^{8}$

So, the Saturn is further than Venus by :

$1.4\times10^{9}-1.1\times10^{8}$

$1400000000-110000000$

= 1290000000

= $1.29\times10^{9}$ km
