Answer:

The distance from the Sun to Neptune is 29,41 AU.

Explanation:

We know, from the sentence, that the orbit of Neptune has an average diameter around 8.80*10⁹km.

Now, we can calculate the radius of this orbit, which is equivalent to the distance from thsi planet to the Sun. Let's recall tha the radius is the half of the diameter.

R=\frac{8.80\cdot 10^{9}}{2}=4.4\cdot 10^{9}km=4.4\cdot 10^{12}m

Ok, we know that 1.496*10¹¹m is an AU, therefore we have:

4.4\cdot 10^{12}m\cdot \frac{1 AU}{1.496\cdot 10^{11}}=29,41 AU

Finally, the distance R is 29,41 AU.

I hope it helps you! :)
