The diameter of the Sun is 1.4 x 10⁶ km. The diameter of the planet mars is about 7000km. What is the approximate ratio of the diameter of the Sun to the diameter of Mars

Answer 1

Option(D)

Explanation:

Diameter of the Sun (S) = 1.4 × 10⁶ km

Diameter of a planet mars (M) = 7000 km

≈ 7.0 × 10³ km

Ratio of the diameter of the Sun to the diameter of Mars

=
`(S)/(M)`

=
`(1.4* 10^(6))/(7.0* 10^(3))`

=
`0.2* 10^(6-3)`

=
`0.2* 10^3`

=
`2* 10^2`

Option (D) will be the correct option.
