B.
The distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri is approximately two trillion times the distance from Earth to Venus.

C.
The distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri is approximately two billion times the distance from Earth to Venus.

D.
The distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri is approximately two thousand times the distance from Earth to Venus.

Answer 1

Do you mean 10^7 and 10^13?I also had this a while agoif so, then the distance from Earth to Venus is 20,000,000 km and the distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri is 40,000,000,000,000 km. So thus the distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri is 2,000,000 (2 million) times greater than the distance from Earth to Venus.

Answer 2
