The Earth is approximately \(0.787\) terametres (Tm) (1 tera \(=\mathrm{ }{{10}^{12}}\)) away from the Jupiter.
Light takes about \(8.936\) nanoseconds (1 nano \(=\mathrm{ }{{10}^{-9}}\)) to travel \(3\) metres.
Leaving your answers in standard form,

  1. express \(0.787\) Tm in m.
  2. calculate the time taken, in seconds, for light to travel from the Earth to Jupiter.
