Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and divide them. Show your work.

1 answer

Let's choose two distances of planets from the sun:

1. Earth's distance from the sun: 92.96 million miles.
2. Neptune's distance from the sun: 2.7 billion miles.

To divide these two distances, we can use the formula:

Distance ratio = Distance of Planet 2 / Distance of Planet 1

Distance ratio = 2.7 billion miles / 92.96 million miles

Now let's calculate the distance ratio:

Distance ratio ≈ 29.04

So, the distance ratio between Neptune and Earth is approximately 29.04.
