Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and multiply them. Show your work.
Sure! Let's choose the distance of Venus from the Sun, which is approximately 108.2 million km, and the distance of Mars from the Sun, which is approximately 227.9 million km.
Multiplying the distances:
108.2 million km * 227.9 million km =
= (108.2 * 10^6) km * (227.9 * 10^6) km
To multiply these numbers, we add their exponents and multiply the coefficients:
= (108.2 * 227.9) * (10^6 * 10^6) km²
= 24,652.18 * (10^6+6) km²
= 24,652.18 * 10^12 km²
= 2.465218 * 10^16 km²
Therefore, the product of the distances of Venus and Mars from the Sun is approximately 2.465218 * 10^16 square kilometers.
Sure! Let's choose the distances of the Earth and Mars from the sun and multiply them.
The average distance of Earth from the sun is approximately 93 million miles.
The average distance of Mars from the sun is approximately 142 million miles.
To find the product, we multiply these two distances:
93 million miles * 142 million miles = 13,206 million million miles.
Therefore, the product of the distances of Earth and Mars from the sun is 13,206 million million miles.
To find the distance between two planets from the sun, you can refer to the astronomical unit (AU) which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 149.6 million kilometers or 93 million miles). Let's choose two planets and calculate their distances from the Sun.
Let's consider Mars and Jupiter as the two planets.
The average distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.524 AU, and the average distance of Jupiter from the Sun is 5.204 AU.
To find the product (multiply) of these distances:
1. Multiply the distance of Mars from the Sun (1.524 AU) by the distance of Jupiter from the Sun (5.204 AU):
1.524 AU x 5.204 AU = 7.937496 AU²
So, the product of the distances of Mars and Jupiter from the Sun is approximately 7.937496 AU².
