Question

what is the Mercury distance in scientific notation ??

Answer 1

36 million miles
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system -- only slightly larger than the Earth's moon. It is the closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 58 million km (36 million miles)

Answer 2

is that what u are trying to find out

Answer 3

36,000,000

Answer 4

30,000,000+6,000,000

Answer 5

^^^^^ Thats your answer^^^^

Answer 6

That is not the answer.

Scientific notation is:

Y x 10^z.

No number in scientific notation would EVER be longer than 1 number before the decimal point.

Answer 7

Using what I said above:
Y = non-zero numbers in the equation in the form of A.BC
z = decimal places of remaining numbers / zeros

So, if we're going with the answer of 36 million miles (instead of km, not sure what you need as the answer here unless something was given in the question set):

First write the number out:
36,000,000

Now, take the first non-zero number, in this case 3. Since there is one more non-zero number, you place a decimal point between the two and take that.

So we get 3.6

Now, you need to count how many decimal places we have moved the number over.

0: 36 000 000
1: 36 000 00.0
2: 36 000 0.00
3: 36 000. 000
4: 36 00.0 000
5: 36 0.00 000
6: 36 .000 000
7: 3.6 000 000

So we moved the decimal over 7 places.

So the scientific notation of 36 million miles is:

\[3.6 \times 10^{7}\]
