Jupiter is 9.28 x 108 km from Earth when they are farthest apart. Mars is 410,000,000 km from Earth when they are farthest apart.

a) How much farther away from Earth is Jupiter?

b) When Jupiter is closest to Earth, it is only 629 million km away? What is the difference in distances from its farthest to its closest distance from Earth?

c) Neptune is 4.3 billion miles away from Earth. How much farther is it away from Earth than Jupiter at its farthest point?

I would write down what I think but I don't understand how to do this. Someone, please help

let's just assume everything is in millions, so

(a) 928-410 = ?
(b) 928-629 = ?
(c) 4300-928 = ?

Still, it would always be useful if you wrote down your answers; it might help us figure out where you are going wrong.

I didn't want to write down the answers because the school I'm going to might think I copied and paste it and cheated

a) To find out how much farther away from Earth Jupiter is, you need to subtract the distance of Mars from the distance of Jupiter.

Distance of Jupiter from Earth: 9.28 x 10^8 km
Distance of Mars from Earth: 410,000,000 km

To calculate the difference, you subtract the two distances:
9.28 x 10^8 km - 410,000,000 km = ? (answer in km)

Performing the calculation, you get the difference of Jupiter from Mars:
9.28 x 10^8 km - 410,000,000 km = 487,000,000 km

Therefore, Jupiter is 487,000,000 km farther away from Earth than Mars when they are farthest apart.

b) To find the difference in distances from Jupiter's farthest to its closest distance from Earth, you need to subtract the two distances.

Distance of Jupiter from Earth when farthest apart: 9.28 x 10^8 km
Distance of Jupiter from Earth when closest: 629,000,000 km

To calculate the difference, subtract the two distances:
9.28 x 10^8 km - 629,000,000 km = ? (answer in km)

Calculating the difference in distances, you get:
9.28 x 10^8 km - 629,000,000 km = 269,000,000 km

Hence, the difference in distances from Jupiter's farthest to its closest distance from Earth is 269,000,000 km.

c) To determine how much farther Neptune is from Earth compared to Jupiter at its farthest point, you subtract the distance of Jupiter from the distance of Neptune.

Distance of Neptune from Earth: 4.3 billion miles (convert to km to match units)
Distance of Jupiter from Earth (farthest point): 9.28 x 10^8 km

Convert the distance of Neptune from miles to km:
4.3 billion miles = 6.92 x 10^9 km

To find the difference, subtract the distance of Jupiter from the distance of Neptune:
6.92 x 10^9 km - 9.28 x 10^8 km = ? (answer in km)

Performing the calculation, you get the difference of Neptune from Jupiter:
6.92 x 10^9 km - 9.28 x 10^8 km = 5.99 x 10^9 km

Therefore, Neptune is approximately 5.99 x 10^9 km farther away from Earth than Jupiter at its farthest point.
