Answer 1

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

Given: \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

To convert to meters: \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \times 1,000 \text{ meters/kilometer} \]

This is the same as multiplying by \(10^3\): \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \times 10^3 = 4.083 \times 10^{6+3} = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

So, \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{4.083 \times 10^9} \text{ meters} \]
