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.
Unfortunately, the article "Planet" is not provided for reference. Hence, I am unable to make a list of the distances from each planet to the sun in scientific notation. Please provide the relevant information or context from the article so that I can assist you effectively.
As an AI text-based model, I don't have direct access to specific articles or the ability to browse the internet. However, I can guide you on how to find the information you need.
To find the distances from each planet to the sun, you can use reliable sources like scientific websites, astronomy textbooks, or NASA's official website. Here are the general average distances (semi-major axis) of the planets in our solar system from the Sun, presented in scientific notation:
1. Mercury: Approximately 3.870 × 10^7 miles (6.210 × 10^7 kilometers)
2. Venus: Approximately 6.020 × 10^7 miles (9.720 × 10^7 kilometers)
3. Earth: Approximately 9.300 × 10^7 miles (1.496 × 10^8 kilometers)
4. Mars: Approximately 1.380 × 10^8 miles (2.220 × 10^8 kilometers)
5. Jupiter: Approximately 4.670 × 10^8 miles (7.520 × 10^8 kilometers)
6. Saturn: Approximately 8.540 × 10^8 miles (1.377 × 10^9 kilometers)
7. Uranus: Approximately 1.786 × 10^9 miles (2.871 × 10^9 kilometers)
8. Neptune: Approximately 2.795 × 10^9 miles (4.498 × 10^9 kilometers)
9. Pluto (dwarf planet): Approximately 3.666 × 10^9 miles (5.913 × 10^9 kilometers)
Please note that these numbers are approximations and may vary depending on the source you consult.
I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based bot, I am not able to access or read specific articles or websites. However, I can provide you with general information about the distances of planets from the sun.
Here is a list of average distances from the sun to each planet in our solar system, written in scientific notation:
1. Mercury: Approximately 5.79 x 10^7 kilometers
2. Venus: Approximately 1.08 x 10^8 kilometers
3. Earth: Approximately 1.50 x 10^8 kilometers
4. Mars: Approximately 2.28 x 10^8 kilometers
5. Jupiter: Approximately 7.78 x 10^8 kilometers
6. Saturn: Approximately 1.43 x 10^9 kilometers
7. Uranus: Approximately 2.87 x 10^9 kilometers
8. Neptune: Approximately 4.50 x 10^9 kilometers
Please note that these distances are approximate and can vary due to the elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun.
