The distance between earth and sun is 150 million kilometres which can be written in exponential form as _______.

Solution:

1.5 × 10⁸ kms

In exponential form, the power represents the number of times we are multiplying the base by itself.

1 million = 1,000,000 = 10⁶

150 million = 150,000,000 = 150 × 10⁶ = 1.5 × 10⁸

∴ 150 million kilometres = 1.5 × 10⁸ kms

✦ Try This: The distance between the earth and the planet mars is 316.96 million kilometers which can be expressed in exponential form as _________

3.1696 × 10⁸ Kms

1 million = 1,000,000 = 10⁶

316.96 million = 316,960,000 = 316.96 × 10⁶ = 3.1696 × 10⁸
