The distance of planet Mercury from the Sun is approximately 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers, and the distance of planet Venus from the Sun is 1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers. About how many more kilometers is the distance of Venus from the Sun than the distance of Mercury from the Sun? (1 point)
5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers
4.7 ⋅ 108 kilometers
5.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers
5.7 ⋅ 109 kilometers
To find the difference in distance between the two planets, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Venus:
1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers - 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers = 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers
Therefore, the distance of Venus from the Sun is approximately 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers more than the distance of Mercury from the Sun. Therefore, the answer is 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers.
To find the difference in distance between Venus and Mercury from the Sun, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the Sun from the distance of Venus from the Sun.
Distance of Venus from the Sun: 1.1 ⋅ 10^8 kilometers
Distance of Mercury from the Sun: 5.8 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers
Now we can calculate the difference:
1.1 ⋅ 10^8 - 5.8 ⋅ 10^7 = 4.9 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers
Therefore, the difference in distance between Venus and Mercury from the Sun is approximately 4.9 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers.
To find the difference in the distances of Venus and Mercury from the Sun, we need to subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Venus.
The distance of Mercury from the Sun is 5.8 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers, and the distance of Venus from the Sun is 1.1 ⋅ 10^8 kilometers.
To calculate the difference, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Venus:
1.1 ⋅ 10^8 kilometers - 5.8 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers = 5.3 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers.
Therefore, the difference in the distances of Venus and Mercury from the Sun is approximately 5.3 ⋅ 10^7 kilometers.
