Hello, let me know if you have question to better explain myself.

What is 10^n all about, Explanation: 10^9, for example, means to multiply 10 nine times. Looks like: 10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10=1,000,000,000 

How?: 10*10=100 now times 100 with another 10=1,000 and so on for 7 times more for 10^9. You would multiply 10 eight times for 10^8. It all depends on the exponent number ( ^n ).

Saturn is 10^9 km from the Sun. Saturn is farther from the sun compared to Venus that is 10^8 km from the sun.

To know how farther is Saturn than Venus from the sun, subtract both distances. 

Saturn 10^9 - Venus 10^8 = 10^1 

To answer the question, how many times more is Saturn farther than Venus: Saturn is 1 time more farther from the sun than Venus.
