Answer:
[tex]D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km[/tex]
Explanation:
The distance to the Sun is 5,890,000,000,000. We need to write this distance in km.
A number can be written as [tex]x.0\times 10^y[/tex] in scientific notation where x is a real no and y is any integer.
There are 10 zeros in the given number and also there are 12 digits after. It would mean that,
[tex]D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km[/tex]
So, the distance in scientific notation is : [tex]D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km[/tex]
