Questions 17 carry 4 mark each.

17. Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the
planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such
as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Beyond our own
solar system, we have discovered thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars in the
Milky Way. The distance of all the planets from the Sun in kilometers (km) is given in below
table:

Planet Distance from Sun


(km)
Mercury 57,900,000
Venus 108,200,000
Earth 149,600,000
Mars 227,900,000
Jupiter 778,600,000
Saturn 1,433,500,000
Uranus 2,872,500,000
Neptune 4,495,100,000
Based on the above situation, answer the following questions:
(i) Write the distance of Mercury from the Sun in standard form.
(ii) Write the sum of the distances of Mercury and Venus from the Sun in standard form.
(iii) Write the difference of the distances of Earth and Venus from the Sun in standard form.
(iv) Find the mean distance of Earth and Venus from the Sun in standard form.
