The distance between the sun and the earth is 1,49,500,000,000 m. How will you express it in powers of ten?

A

`1.495xx10^(10)m`

B

`1.495xx10^(12)m`

C

`1.495xx10^(11)m`

D

`1.495xx10^(-11)m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For this 12 digit number, we shift the decimal point from right to the left 11 times and write the number as `1.495xx10^(11)`m.
