The distance of planet Mercury from the Sun is approximately 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers, and the distance of planet Venus from the Sun is 1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers. About how many more kilometers is the distance of Venus from the Sun than the distance of Mercury from the Sun? (1 point)

Question

5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers

4.7 ⋅ 108 kilometers

5.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers

5.7 ⋅ 109 kilometers

Answer 1

To find the difference in distance between the two planets, we subtract the distance of Mercury from the distance of Venus:

1.1 ⋅ 108 kilometers - 5.8 ⋅ 107 kilometers = 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers

Therefore, the distance of Venus from the Sun is approximately 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers more than the distance of Mercury from the Sun. Therefore, the answer is 5.2 ⋅ 107 kilometers.
