Studdy Solution
The calculator will show the answer in scientific notation. To convert the above result into scientific notation, we need to have only one digit before the decimal point. So, we move the decimal point one place to the left, and add one to the exponent.
$$Distance =1.02 \times10^{13}\, m$$The calculator will show the answer as $1.02 \times10^{13}$ meters.
