Question:
Planet A is at a distance of 9.35 x 106 km from Earth and planet B is 6.27 x 107 km from Earth. Which planet is nearer to Earth?
Solution:
Distance between planet A and Earth = 9.35 x 106 km Distance between planet B and Earth = 6.27 x 107 km
For finding difference between above two distances, we have to change both in same exponent of 10, i.e. 9.35 x.106 = 0.935 x 107, clearly 6.27 x
107 is greater.
So, planet A is nearer to Earth.
