A. (Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Show your work and provide your answer in scientific notation. Jupiter = 778,500,000 km from sun. Venus = 108,200,000 km from sun.
778,500,000 – 108,200,000 = 670,300,000
It would need to travel 670,300,000 km/ 6.703 x 10 with a 8 squared km (as shown below)
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. Mercury = 57,909,000 km Venus = 108,200,000 km Earth = 149,600,000 km 57,909,000 + 108,200,000 + 149,600,000 = 315,709,000 Less because 315,709,000 km is less than 4,498,000,000 km
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. Earth = 149,600,000 km 149,600,000 x 10 = 1,496,000,000 Earth’s new distance = 1,496,000,000 Earth would be closest to Saturn. 1,496,000,000 – 1,429,000,000 = 67,000,000
They would be 67,000,000 km apart
Scientific notation: 6.7 x 10 with a 7 squared km (sorry I can't write this to show this figure but see below as you should write it exactly like how I typed it below followed by km)
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. Earth = 149,600,000 km
Saturn = 1,429,000,000 km
1,429,000,000 - 149,600,000 = 1,279,400,000
1,279,400,000 km
1,279,400,000 ÷ 28,000 = 45,692.8
Estimated hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth = 45,693
Scientific notation: 4.5693 x 10 with a 4 squared
(same with this one, it should be written as I have it shown below instead of how I first tried to explain it.)
