Question

The diameter of the Sun is about 1.4 x 106 km. The diameter of the planet

Venus is about 12,000 km. What is the approximate ratio of the diameter of the Sun to the diameter of

Venus?​

Answer 1

1.17*10²

Explanation:

Diameter of the sun is about 1.4 × 10⁶ km

1.4*10⁶ km = 1,400,000

Diameter of the planet venus is about 12000 km

12000 km = 1.2 × 10⁴

Ratio of the diameters

Sun : Venus

1.4 × 10⁶ km : 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 × 10⁶ km / 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 / 1.2 × 10^6-4

1.166 × 10²

Approximately

1.17 × 10²
