Answer:
Jupiter is [tex]7.776*10^8km[/tex] away from the sun.
Explanation:
The speed of light is [tex]3*10^5km/s[/tex]. This means, since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, the distance light travels in 1 hour is:
[tex]3*10^5*3600= 1.08*10^9km[/tex]
and this distance is called the light-hour.
Since Jupiter is 0.72 light-hours away from the Sun, its distance in km from the sun is:
[tex]1.08*10^8*0.72=7.7776*10^8km[/tex]
Thus, Jupiter is [tex]7.776*10^8km[/tex] away from the sun.
