Question

If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be in standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work. Here are the distances Planet Distance from sun (in km) Distance in scientific notation Mercury 5,909,000 5.7.10/7 km venus 108.2 million 1.08.10/8 km earth 149.6 million 1.5.10/8km mars 227.9 million 2.28.10/8 km Jupiter 778.3 million 7.79.10/8 km Saturn 1,427.0 million 143.109 km Uranus 2,871.0 million 2.388.10/9 km Neptune 4,497.1 4.5 10/9 km

Answer 1

saturn

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It Saturn.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given distances, Earth is 149 million miles away, and since it is 10 times FURTHER away it would be roughly 1.49 billion miles away, puting it closest to Saturn which is 1.427 billion.
