Solution

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is $1.496 \times 10^{8} k m = 1.496 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{3} m = 1496 \times 10^{8} m$
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is $3.84 \times 10^{8} m$ .
The distance between the Moon and the Sun at particular time (Solar eclipse)
$= (1496 \times 10^{8} - 3.84 \times 10^{8}) m = 1492.16 \times 10^{8} m$
