Question

The distance from the earth to the sun is 9.3×10 to the 6(power) miles. The distance from earth the moon is 3×10 to the 5th(power) miles. How many times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon?

Answer 1

NO the Earth to Sun distance is 9.3 x 10^7 miles.

Earth to Noon distance is 2.4 x 10^5 miles

9.3 x 10^7 is 387.5 times larger than 2.4 x 10 ^ 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

31 times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon.

Explanation:

Given : The distance from the earth to the sun is 9.3×10 to the 6(power) miles. The distance from earth the moon is 3×10 to the 5th(power) miles.

To find : How many times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon?

Solution :

The distance from the earth to the sun is
`9.3* 10^(6)` miles.

The distance from the earth to the moon is
`3* 10^(5)` miles.

To know, times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon is given by,

`n=(9.3* 10^(6))/(3* 10^(5))`

`n=3.1* 10^(6-5)`

`n=3.1* 10`

`n=31`

Therefore, 31 times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon.
