Neptune orbits the sun in about 1.45 x 10^6 hours at a speed of about 1.95 x 10^4 kilometers per hour. What distance in kilometers does Neptune travel?

Answer 1

To find the distance Neptune travels, we need to multiply its speed by the time it takes to orbit the Sun.

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = (1.95 x 10^4 km/h) x (1.45 x 10^6 hours)

To multiply these numbers, we add their exponents:

Distance = 1.95 x 1.45 x 10^(4+6) km

Distance = 2.8275 x 10^10 km

So Neptune travels approximately 2.8275 x 10^10 kilometers.
