Explanation:
It is given that,
The average distance from the sun to the planet Venus is about 108,000,000 km. The diameter of a human hair is about 0.0025 mm.
(a) In scientifc notation, the distance from the Sun to Venus will be :
There are 8 numbers before 1. It means
d = 1.08 × 10⁸ km
(b) In scientific notation, the diameter of a human hair will be :
There are 3 numbers after decimal. It means
D = 2.5× 10⁻³ mm
(c) Before comparing two measurements, both values must be converted into the same units.
Since, 1 mm = 10⁻⁶ km
D = 2.5× 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁶ km
= 2.5 × 10⁻⁹ km
For comparison divide the distance from the Sun to Venus and the diameter of a human hair.
Hence, this is the required solution.
