Answer:

a) 5.2 *10^7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If we could describe our Solar System, in order of appearance nearer the Sun, it would be like this:

Sun --- Mercury --- Venus --- Earth

Sun --------------------- Venus

1.1 * 10^8 km

Sun -------Mercury

5.8 * 10^7 Km

To find out how many more kilometers is the distance of Venus from the Sun than the distance of Mercury from the Sun, all we have to do is simply subtract the distance Sun ---Venus minus Sun ---Mercury

So,

1.1 * 10^8 - 5.8 * 10^7 =

Adjusting the first distance to the same power

110*10^7- 5.8*10^7 =

Subtracting the factors

5.2 * 10^7
