The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth. (Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the

sun.) Show your work. Convert your answer into scientific notation if necessary.

here are the distances you have to use for the question

Mercury 5,909,000 5.7.10/7 km

venus 108.2 million 1.08.10/8 km

earth 149.6 million 1.5.10/8km

mars 227.9 million 2.28.10/8 km

Jupiter 778.3 million 7.79.10/8 km

Saturn 1,427.0 million 143.109 km
