Question

3. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) 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? Earth 149,600,000

Answer 1

The earth is approximately 93,000,000 miles from the sun.  If it were 10x further, it would be 930,000,000

That would place it closest to Saturn which is about 890,000,00 miles away from the sun.
