Question

The distance between sun and moon is 1.496 × 10^11 m and the distance between earth and moon is 1492.16 × 10^8 m. During a solar eclipse, Moon comes in between Earth and the sun.
1- Write the distance between sun and moon in the usual form
2- Write the distance between earth and moon in the usual form
3- During the eclipse what is the distance between Earth and Sun.

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.496 x 10 s km = 1.496 x 108 x 103 m = 1496 x 108 m The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 x 108 m. The distance between the Moon and the Sun at particular time (solar eclipse) = (1496 x 108- 3.84 x 108)m = 1492. 16 x 108 m.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Required distance

= (1.496×10^11) - (3.84×10^8) m

= ( 1496×10^11/10^3) - (3.84×10^8) m

= ( 1496×10^8) - (3.84×10^8) m

= (1496-3.84)×10^8 m

= (1492.16×10^8)

Hence,

the distance between moon and sun is (1492.16×10^8) m
