Read the article "Planet." You will use information from this article to answer the
following questions.
a. Make a list of the distances from each planet to the sun, written in scientific notation.
If there is a shortest and longest distance, use the average distance from the sun.
I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based bot, I am unable to directly read or access external articles or specific information from them. However, I can provide general information about the distances of the planets from the sun.
Here is a list of the average distances of the planets from the sun in scientific notation, known as the astronomical unit (AU):
1. Mercury: 0.39 AU
2. Venus: 0.72 AU
3. Earth: 1.00 AU
4. Mars: 1.52 AU
5. Jupiter: 5.20 AU
6. Saturn: 9.58 AU
7. Uranus: 19.18 AU
8. Neptune: 30.07 AU
(Note: Pluto was considered a planet but is no longer classified as one)
Please note that these distances can vary slightly over time due to the elliptical nature of the planets' orbits.
To answer this question, you are asked to find the distances of each planet from the sun. Specifically, you need to refer to the article "Planet" to obtain this information. Unfortunately, as an AI text-based assistant, I don't have access to specific articles or the capability to read them. However, I can provide you with a list of average distances from the sun to each planet in scientific notation based on commonly known values:
1. Mercury: The average distance from the sun to Mercury is approximately 5.79 × 10^7 kilometers.
2. Venus: The average distance from the sun to Venus is approximately 1.08 × 10^8 kilometers.
3. Earth: The average distance from the sun to Earth is approximately 1.50 × 10^8 kilometers.
4. Mars: The average distance from the sun to Mars is approximately 2.28 × 10^8 kilometers.
5. Jupiter: The average distance from the sun to Jupiter is approximately 7.78 × 10^8 kilometers.
6. Saturn: The average distance from the sun to Saturn is approximately 1.43 × 10^9 kilometers.
7. Uranus: The average distance from the sun to Uranus is approximately 2.87 × 10^9 kilometers.
8. Neptune: The average distance from the sun to Neptune is approximately 4.50 × 10^9 kilometers.
Please note that these values are approximate and can vary slightly based on different sources of information.
