If its a good answer ill give brainly if its bad i wont

B . Mercury, Venus, and Earth are the three planets closest to the sun. Would their combined distance from the sun be greater or less than the distance from the sun to Neptune? Show your work and justify your answer.


C. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be in standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work.

D. The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth. (Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Show your work. Convert your answer into scientific notation if necessary.

Respuesta :

B) distance from the sun:

Mercury is 57 million km

Venus is 108 million km

Earth is 150 million km

Sum of all 3 = 57 + 108 + 150 = 315 million kilometers. Written in scientific notation =3.15x 10^8

C) 150 million x 10 = 1.5 billion kilometers. This would put Earth close to Saturn which is 1.43 billion Kim’s from the sun.

1.5 billion -1.43 billion = 70 million kilometers

Scientific notation = 7x 10 ^6

D) 70 million km / 28,000 = 2,500 hours.

Scientific notation = 2.5x 10^3
