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 Venus and Mercury from the Sun, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Venus:
1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers - 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers = 4.7 ⋅ 108 kilometers
So the distance of Venus from the Sun is approximately 4.7 ⋅ 108 kilometers more than the distance of Mercury from the Sun.
Therefore, the answer is 4.7 ⋅ 108 kilometers.
