Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and subtract them. Show your work.
Earth:1.5 x 10
Mars:2.279 x 10^8
To solve this problem, we need to convert both distances to the same form.
The distance of Earth from the Sun is given as 1.5 x 10^8 kilometers.
The distance of Mars from the Sun is given as 2.279 x 10^8 kilometers.
To subtract them, we can write:
2.279 x 10^8 - 1.5 x 10^8
= (2.279 - 1.5) x 10^8
= 0.779 x 10^8
= 7.79 x 10^7 kilometers
