Mercury: 57.91 million kilometers
Venus: 108.21 million kilometers
Earth: 149.60 million kilometers
Mars: 227.92 million kilometers
Jupiter: 778.57 million kilometers
Saturn: 1.43 billion kilometers
Uranus: 2.87 billion kilometers
Neptune: 4.49 billion kilometers
Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and subtract them. Show your work.
Let's choose Venus and Mars as the two planets.
Venus: 108.21 million kilometers
Mars: 227.92 million kilometers
To subtract these distances, we can use the formula:
Subtraction = Venus - Mars
Subtraction = 108.21 million kilometers - 227.92 million kilometers
Subtraction = -119.71 million kilometers
Therefore, the subtraction of Venus and Mars' distances from the sun is -119.71 million kilometers.
Let's choose Earth and Mars.
Subtraction: Distance of Mars - Distance of Earth
227.92 million kilometers - 149.60 million kilometers
= 78.32 million kilometers.
So, the difference between the distance of Mars and Earth from the sun is 78.32 million kilometers.
To subtract the distances between two planets from the Sun, you simply need to subtract one value from the other. Let's choose Earth and Mars as our two planets.
Distance between Earth and Mars:
227.92 million kilometers - 149.60 million kilometers = 78.32 million kilometers
Therefore, the distance between Earth and Mars is 78.32 million kilometers.
Alternatively, if you would like to perform the calculation using the given values, here's how you can do it:
Distance between Earth and Mars:
(Mars distance) - (Earth distance)
= (227.92 million kilometers) - (149.60 million kilometers)
= 78.32 million kilometers
So, the difference between the distances of Earth and Mars from the Sun is 78.32 million kilometers.
