<h2>Answer:</h2>

n miles 365 million miles or 365,000,000

in km, 588 million km or 588,000,000

scientific notation=(number less than 10 and greater than or equal to 1) times 10^n

365,000,000 mi=3.65 times 10⁸ mi

588,000,000 km=5.88 times 10⁸ km

In miles 365 million miles or 365,000,000
in km, 588 million km or 588,000,000

so
scientific notation=(number less than 10 and greater than or equal to 1) times 10^n

so
we need to move the decimal point 8 spaces to the left
to compensiate for that, we multiply by 10⁸ which will move it 8 to the right
so

365,000,000 mi=3.65 times 10⁸ mi
588,000,000 km=5.88 times 10⁸ km

those are the distances in scientific notation
