To find the distance Neptune travels, we need to multiply its speed by the time it takes to orbit the Sun.
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (1.95 x 10^4 km/h) x (1.45 x 10^6 hours)
To multiply these numbers, we add their exponents:
Distance = 1.95 x 1.45 x 10^(4+6) km
Distance = 2.8275 x 10^10 km
So Neptune travels approximately 2.8275 x 10^10 kilometers.
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (1.95 x 10^4 km/h) x (1.45 x 10^6 hours)
To multiply these numbers, we add their exponents:
Distance = 1.95 x 1.45 x 10^(4+6) km
Distance = 2.8275 x 10^10 km
So Neptune travels approximately 2.8275 x 10^10 kilometers.
