Detailed explanation-1: -As noted earlier, Earth’s average distance to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from the Sun. That’s 1 AU . Mars is on the three-yard line of our imaginary football field. The red planet is about 142 million miles (228 million kilometers) on average from the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturn has at least 30 moons and is 9.555 Astronomical Units (1 A.U. = 93 million miles) or 890 million miles away from the Sun. It is 9.5 times the diameter of the Earth and has a mass 95 times that of Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun is about 150 billion meters (or 93 million miles) away from the earth. It will take a bit more than eight minutes for the light to travel from the sun to the earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: In decimal units, the travel time from question 1 equals 43.9 hours. The distance is 93 million miles so the speed is 93 million miles/43.9hours Or 2.1 million miles per hour.
