The distance from the earth to the sun is approximately 90,000,000 miles, which can be written as 9 × 10a miles, where a = . the distance from jupiter to the sun is approximately 500,000,000 miles, which can be written as 5 × 10b miles, where b = . rounded to the nearest tenth, jupiter is about times further from the sun than the earth is from the sun.

10*a = 10000000

a = 1000000, one million

5*10*b = 500000000

b = 10000000, ten million

About ten times.

Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 90,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

The distance from Jupiter to the Sun = 500,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

Distance of Jupiter from the Sun and the Earth  from the Sun =

Hence, Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.
