Mercury is 5.8×10^7 km from the sun. Neptune is 4.5×10^10 km from the sun. How much further is Neptune from the sun than Mercury?(1 point)

1 answer

To find the difference in distance between Neptune and Mercury from the sun, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Neptune:

4.5×10^10 km - 5.8×10^7 km = 4.5×10^10 - 0.058×10^10 km = 4.5×10^10 - 0.058×10^10 km = 4.442×10^10 km

Therefore, Neptune is 4.442×10^10 km further from the sun than Mercury.
