the distance between the sun and the earth is 1.496x10 power 8 and distance between the earth and the moon is 3.84 x 10 power 8 m during solar eclipse the moon comes in between the earth and the sun what is the distance between the moon and the sun at that particular time?

Hey Pretty Stranger!
• Distance between sun and Earth = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m
• Distance between moon and Earth = 3.84 × 10⁸ m
In solar eclipse the arrangement of sun, moon & earth is kinda like :
★ S(SUN)-------- ------- ------ -------- ------ --- M (MOON )- - --- --- - E(EARTH)
Therefore the distance between moon and sun in solar eclipse = (SE - ME) = (1.496 × 10¹¹ ) - (3.84 × 10⁸)
→ (1.496 × 10¹¹) - (0.00384× 10¹¹)
→ 10¹¹( 1.496 - 0.00384)
→ 1.49216× 10¹¹ m
The distance between sun and moon during solar eclipse is 1.49216 × 10¹¹ m or 1, 49, 21, 60 ,00 ,000 m
Answer:
Given that the distance between sun and earth
=1.496 *10^11m
and distance between the moon and earth
=3.48* 10^8 m
there fore distance between sun and moon
=1.496 *10^11-3.48* 10^8
= 10^8(1.496*10^3 -3.48)
= 10^8(1496-3.48)
=10^8*149252
