Solution
a. Scientific notation of distance from Sun to
Earth = 149600000
= 1496 × 105
= 1.496 × 108
Jupiter = 149600000
= 1496 × 105
= 1.496 × 108
Mars = 227900000
= 2279 × 105
= 2.279 × 108
Mercury = 57900000
= 579 × 105
= 5.79 × 107
Neptune = 4497000000
= 4497 × 106
= 4.497 × 109
Pluto = 5900000000
= 59 × 108
= 5.9 × 109
Saturn = 1427000000
= 1427 × 106
= 1.427 × 109
Uranus = 2870000000
= 287 × 107
= 2.87 × 109
Venus = 108200000
= 1082 × 105
= 1.082 × 108
b. Order of planet from closest to the Sun to farthest from the Sun is given by
Mercury < Venus < Earth < Mars < Jupiter < Saturn < Uranus < Neptune < Pluto

Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.
