An asteroid that is 700,000,000 km is equivalent to 4.67 AU.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>How do you convert KM into AU?</h3>

Given that an asteroid that is 700,000,000 km from Earth.

We know that 1 AU is equal to 149597870.691 KM. The expression can be given below.

$1 \;\rm AU = 149597870.691\;\rm KM$

$1 \;\rm KM = \dfrac {1}{149597870.691} \;\rm AU$

$700,000,000 \;\rm KM = \dfrac {1}{149597870.691} \times 700,000,000 \;\rm AU$

$700,000,000 \;\rm KM = 4.67 \;\rm AU$

Hence we can conclude that 700,000,000 km is equivalent to 4.67 AU. Option D is the correct answer.
