Answer 1

To convert meters to kilometers, you divide by 1,000 (since 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters).

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

Convert to kilometers: \[ \frac{3.875 \times 10^9 \text{ meters}}{1,000} = 3.875 \times 10^9 \div 10^3 = 3.875 \times 10^{9 - 3} = 3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

Thus, the answer is: \[ \boxed{3.875 \times 10^6 \text{ km}} \]
