Part 2 Convert each of the distances that you have recorded into scientific notation. List these on your chart for this assignment. Part 3 Answer the following questions using the data you have found. Show your work on all questions as indicated. A If a spacecraft was parked on Venus and needed to make a flight to Jupiter, how far would it need to travel? Show your work and provide your answer in scientific notation. 779.000.000 - 108.000.000 = 671,000,000 =6.71 x 10® B. Mercury, Venus, and Earth are the three planets closest to the Sun. Would their combined distance from the Sun be greater or less than the distance from the sun to Neptune? Show your work and justify your answer. Mercury, Venus, and Earth combined is less than the distance from sun to Neptune because the combined distance is 315,909,000 and Neptune's distance from the sun is 4,500,000,000. C. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun than it 1s now, which planet would it be closest to? Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be 1n standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work. Earth would be 1,500,000,000 away from the sun. The closest planet to earth’s new distance 1s Saturn. Saturn 1s 1,400,000,000. They are 100,000,000 miles apart. Which 1s 7 x 108 D. The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours 1t will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth. Show your work. Convert your answer into scientific notation if necessary. 1.400.000,000 - 150,000,000 = 1.250.000,000 which 1s 1.25 x 10°
