Answer 1

Answer:

B. 7.94  × 10^8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Earth is approximately 9.3 × 107 miles from the sun.

Saturn is approximately 8.87 × 108 miles from the sun.

We need to find out how much farther is saturn from the sun than earth is

So,

Earth - Sun = 9.3 × 10^7 miles

Saturn - Sun = 8.87 × 10^8 miles

Now  

= 8.87  × 10^8 - 9.3  × 10^7

= 88.7  × 10^7 - 9.3  × 10^7  

= 79.4  × 10^7

= 7.94  × 10 ^8

= 794,000,000 miles

Hence, saturn is  7.94  × 10^8 miles farther from Sun than Earth is
