Answer:


33 times

Explanation:

Distance between Earth and the sun
(D) = 9 ×
10^(7) miles =
90,000,000 miles

Distance between Neptune and the sun
(d) = 3 ×
10^(9) miles =
3,000,000,000 miles

Find
(d)/(D).


(d)/(D)=(3,000,000,000)/(90,000,000) =33.3
33

Therefore,

Neptune is approximately
33 times farther from the sun than earth
