A newly discovered solar system is found 150 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.

Respuesta :

AU stands for Astronomical Unit. It is 150 million kilometers.  Therefore, 150 billion kilometers would be 1,000 AU.

Answer:- [tex]1,000[/tex] AU

Step-to-step-explanation:-

Given:  A newly discovered solar system is found 150 billion kilometers from the sun.

It is known that 1 billion= 1000 millions

Then 150 billion= 150,000 millions

We know that 1 AU = 150 million kilometers

Then 1 million kilometers=[tex]\frac{1}{150}[/tex] AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=[tex]150,000\times\frac{1}{150}[/tex] AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=[tex]1,000[/tex] AU

Hence, A newly discovered solar system is found [tex]1,000[/tex] AU from the sun.
