Answer 1

The closest planets to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Asteroids and Pluto are also part of the solar system, with Pluto being in the Kuiper Belt. The distances from each planet to the Sun can be expressed in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the solar system components by distance from the sun, from closest to furthest, are:

1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
9. Asteroids
10. Pluto (in the Kuiper Belt)

To express the distance from each planet to the Sun in scientific notation:

1. Mercury: 5.79 × 107 kilometers
2. Venus: 1.08 × 108 kilometers
3. Earth: 1.50 × 108 kilometers
4. Mars: 2.28 × 108 kilometers
5. Jupiter: 7.78 × 108 kilometers
6. Saturn: 1.42 × 109 kilometers
7. Uranus: 2.87 × 109 kilometers
8. Neptune: 4.50 × 109 kilometers
9. Asteroids: Varying distances
10. Pluto: In the Kuiper Belt
