Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]d=1.98\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Messages from the Perseverance Rover on Mars reach Earth in 11 min i.e. time is 660 s

The speed of light is [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

We need to find the distance between Mars and Earth. Let the distance be d.

We know that,

Distance = speed × time

So,

[tex]d=660\times 3\times 10^8\\\\d=1.98\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

So, Mars is [tex]1.98\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex] from the Earth.
