To find the difference between the distances of Saturn and Jupiter from the Sun, we subtract the distance of Jupiter from the distance of Saturn.
Distance of Saturn from the Sun - Distance of Jupiter from the Sun
= (1.5 ⋅ 109 kilometers) - (7.8 ⋅ 108 kilometers)
= 7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers
Therefore, the answer is 7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers.
