Answer 1

Saturn is 10 times farther from the Sun than Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus is about 100,000,000 kilometers from the Sun, and Saturn is about 1,000,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. To find out how many times farther Saturn is than Venus, we divide the distance of Saturn by the distance of Venus.

1,000,000,000 kilometers ÷ 100,000,000 kilometers = 10

Thus, Saturn is 10 times farther from the Sun than Venus.
