Question 1: What is the distance in meters between the sun and the earth? Express your answer in scientific notation.

To find the distance between the sun and the earth, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Given that the speed of light is 3×10^8 meters/second and it takes 5×10^2 seconds for the light to travel from the sun to the earth, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the distance:

Distance = 3×10^8 meters/second × 5×10^2 seconds

Multiplying these values, we get:

Distance = 1.5×10^11 meters

Therefore, the distance between the sun and the earth is 1.5×10^11 meters, expressed in scientific notation.
