Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

777.9 Mkm

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:

$(\frac{1M}{10^{6} } ) * 777908927.593 km = 777.9 Mkm$
