Its 10 times farther because each time you add another exponent, you're multiplying by 10, and so the difference is 1 in this case. Therefore it is C--10

Answer:

10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.

Explanation:

Given : Venus is about
10^8 kilometers from the Sun. Saturn is about
10^9 kilometers from the Sun.

To find : About how many times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus?

Solution :

The distance from the Sun to the Venus is
10^(8) kilometers.

The distance from the Sun to the Saturn is
10^(9) kilometers.

Now, Divide the distance of Saturn with the distance of Venus from the sun to determine times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus,


n=(10^9)/(10^8)


n=10^(9-8)


n=10

Therefore,10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.
