Question

Use the conversion factors to rewrite the distances in different, but equivalent, units.

Celestial Objects Distance from the Star object A 0.000001877 pc object B 30.06 AU object C 778.3 million km

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pc = 206265 AU

`1 AU = 1.496* 10^(8) km`

Distance of an object A from the sun = 0.000001877 pc

`0.000001877 pc=0.000001877* 206265 AU=0.387159405 AU`

`0.387159405 AU=0.387159405* 1.496* 10^(8) km=5.7919* 10^7 km`

`0.000001877 pc=5.7919* 10^7 km`

Distance of an object B from the sun = 30.06 AU

`30.06AU=30.06* 1.496* 10^(8) km=4.497* 10^(9) km`

Distance of an object C from the sun = 778.3 million km

1 million km =
`10^6 km`

`778.3 \text{million km}=778.3* 10^6 km=7.783* 10^8 km`
