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

Answer 1

To demonstrate the subtraction of distances from the Sun for different planets, let's choose three pairs of planets and calculate the difference in their distances.

Pair 1: Earth and Mars

• Earth: 93 million miles
• Mars: 142 million miles

Calculation: \[ 142 \text{ million miles} - 93 \text{ million miles} = 49 \text{ million miles} \]

Pair 2: Jupiter and Saturn

• Jupiter: 483 million miles
• Saturn: 885.5 million miles

Calculation: \[ 885.5 \text{ million miles} - 483 \text{ million miles} = 402.5 \text{ million miles} \]

Pair 3: Uranus and Neptune

• Uranus: 1.8 billion miles (which is equivalent to 1800 million miles)
• Neptune: 2.8 billion miles (which is equivalent to 2800 million miles)

Calculation: \[ 2800 \text{ million miles} - 1800 \text{ million miles} = 1000 \text{ million miles} \]

Summary of Results

1. Difference between Earth and Mars: 49 million miles
2. Difference between Jupiter and Saturn: 402.5 million miles
3. Difference between Uranus and Neptune: 1000 million miles
