Question

Two planets are revolving around the Sun at some distance as shown below. What is distance between the two planets?

• A. 68,574,891 mi
• B. 23,803,149 mi
• C. 68,574,991 mi
• D. 79,674,891 mi

Answer 1

The correct option is A 68,574,891 mi

Given,
Distance between the Sun and planet 1 = 4,974,638 mi

Distance between the Sun and planet 2 = 73,549,529 mi

Distance between the two planets = Distance between the Sun and planet 2 - Distance between the Sun and planet 1

= 73,549,529 - 4,974,638

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Let's write the numbers according to their place values.
Therefore, the distance between the two planets is 68,574,891 mi.
