Question

The distance between Jupiter and the Sun is 5.2 AU. What is the distance in millions of kilometers?

Answer 1

777.9 Mkm

Step-by-step explanation:

(M = Mega =
`10^(6)`)

AU is the Astronomical Unit for distance (1AU=149,597,870.691 km)

The total distance in km then is:

`5.2 * 149,597,870.691 km = 777908927.593 km`

To give the result in millions, we use the prefix Mega:

`((1M)/(10^(6) ) ) * 777908927.593 km = 777.9 Mkm`
