The distance of planet Jupiter from the Sun is approximately 7.8 ⋅ 108 kilometers, and the distance of planet Saturn from the Sun is 1.5 ⋅ 109 kilometers. About how many more kilometers is the distance of Saturn from the Sun than the distance of Jupiter from the Sun? (1 point)
6.3 ⋅ 101 kilometers
6.3 ⋅ 108 kilometers
7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers
7.2 ⋅ 109 kilometers
To find the difference between the distances of Saturn and Jupiter from the Sun, we subtract the distance of Jupiter from the distance of Saturn.
Distance of Saturn from the Sun - Distance of Jupiter from the Sun
= (1.5 ⋅ 109 kilometers) - (7.8 ⋅ 108 kilometers)
= 7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers
Therefore, the answer is 7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers.
