    2.7 x 10¹¹ m

    Explanation:

    Given,

    time = 15 minutes

    1 min = 60 s

    15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

    Distance of Curiosity from earth

    D = Speed x time

    Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

    D = 3 x 10⁸ x 900

    D = 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

    Distance of curiosity from earth is equal to 2.7 x 10¹¹ m
