Asa instructions
scientific notation is a tool that is used frequently in science, including astronomy, chemistry, biology, and more. in this activity, imagine that you are a student intern at nasa and are researching information about travel within our solar system. you will complete a series of tasks using what you know about scientific notation and what you discover about our solar system to calculate distances that astronauts may use for their next trip to space.

part 1
using technology or other resources, research the average distance that each planet is from the sun (in kilometers). once you have found the distance, create a chart showing each planet's distance from the sun. the sun itself will not receive a label since it is your starting point. for example, mercury is located an average of 57,909,000 km from the sun, so on the chart, mercury would be labeled with a distance of 57,909,000. use the example of the chart below to you get started:

planet distance from sun (in km) distance in scientific notation
mercury 57,909,000

Planet          Distance the sun (in km)               In scientific notation

Mercury       57,000,000                                   5.7*10^7

Venus          108,000,000                                 1.08*10^8

Earth            150,000,000                                 1.5*10^8

Mars             228,000,000                                2.28*10^8  

Jupiter          779,000,000                                7.79*10^8  

Saturn          1,43,000,000,000                        1.43*10^9

Uranus         2,88,000,000,000                       2.88*10^9  

Neptune      4,5,000,000,000                          4.5*10^9    

To transform a number into scientific notation you have to count how many digits it has. For example, 57,000,000 has 8 digits, so if you divided and multiply it by 10^7 (7 is taken because 8 - 1 = 7), you get 5.7*10^7

(All in km)

Mercury 57,909,000

Venus 108,208,930

Earth 149,600,000

Mars 227,940,000

Jupiter 778,547,200

Saturn 1,433,449,370
