Question

The distance from Earth to the moon is estimated to be 2.52 x 105 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 400 times farther. Find the approximate distance from Earth to the sun.

Answer 1

Answer:
`9*10^7\ miles`

Explanation:

Given: The estimated distance from Earth to the moon
`=2.25*10^5\ miles`

If the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 400 times farther.

Then, the distance from Earth to the sun
`=400*2.25*10^5`

`=900*10^5\ miles\\=9*10^7\ miles`

Therefore, the approximate distance from Earth to the sun=
`9*10^7\ miles`
