Question

There are eight planets in our solar system. Mercury is closest to the sun, and Neptune is the most distant. This image shows the relative positions of the planets:

Here is a list of each planet’s average distance from the sun (in random order):

Figure out which distance corresponds to each planet and fill out the following table. Remember that Mercury is the innermost planet, so it has the shortest distance to the sun. The image above shows that Venus is the planet second nearest the sun. Which planet is third?
Planets Distance (km)
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune

Answer 1

To determine the order of the planets based on their distance from the sun, we can refer to the image provided. From the image, we can see that the order of the planets is as follows:

1. Mercury (closest to the sun)
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune (most distant from the sun)

Now, we need to fill out the corresponding distances for each planet:

Planets Distance (km)
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
