Question

Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the sun. What is its distance from the sun in kilometers? 28,846 km 78,000 km 28,846,153 km 780,000,000 km<-----

Answer 1

approximately 780,000,000 km from the sun. 

Answer 2

Distance of Jupiter from sun in kilometers is
`7.779 * 10^8 \\` km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The distance of Jupiter from sun in astronomical unit (AU)
`= 5.2\\`

One astronomical unit (AU)
`= 1.496 * 10^8\\` Kilometers

So, in order to convert
`5.2\\` AU into kilometers , the distance in AU should be multiplied with total kilometers in one unit of AU

Thus,

Distance of Jupiter from sun in kilometers

`= 5.2 AU * 1.496 * 10^8 ( (Km)/(AU))\\= 7.779 * 10^8 Km\\`
