Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you can divide the number of meters by 1,000.

Given:

\[ 3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

Now, convert to kilometers:

\[
\frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1000} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers}
\]

So, \( 3.875 \times 10^9 \) meters is equal to \( 3.875 \times 10^6 \) kilometers.
