1. 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. Your answer: 2. 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. Your answer: 3. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the Sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be in standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work. Your answer: 4. The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth. Show your work. Convert your answer into scientific notation if necessary. Your answer:

Answer:
Subtract 778,400 and 108,200,00
scientific notation answer would be 6.701998 × 10^8
Step-by-step explanation:
I know I am late, but jus thought I would help give it more detailed for others :)
Answer:
1. Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.
Jupiter = from sun
Venus = from sun
It would need to travel with a 8 squared km
2. Mercury, Venus, and Earth are the three planets closest to the sun. Distance of Mercury from sun= km
Distance of Venus from sun= km
Distance of Earth from sun = km
Mercury, Venus, Earth combined distance
Neptune's distance from sun =
Combined distance from sun is less than the distance from the sun to Neptune, because 315,709,000 km is less than 4,503,443,661 km
3. Assume all the planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.
Earth =
Earth 10 times away from the sun
Earth’s new distance =
Distance of Saturn from sun=
Earth would be closest to Saturn,
They would be apart
Scientific notation: with a 7 squared km
4. Space shuttle travels about 28,000km per hour
To find Time
Time= Distance÷Speed
