Explanation

Given to us

Earth is approximately 9. 3 × 10^7 miles from the sun.
Saturn is approximately 8. 87 × 10^8 miles from the sun.

If we travel from the sun towards Saturn then we will find earth in between therefore, the earth lies in between these two.

Distance between Saturn and the earth

Distance between Saturn and the earth

= Distance between Saturn and the sun - Distance between the earth and the sun

= (8.87 x 10^8) - (9.3 x 10^7)

= (88.7 x 10^7) - (9.3 x 10^7)

= (88.7 - 9.3) x 10^7

= 79.4 x 10^7

= 7.94 x 10^8

Hence, Saturn is (7.94 x 10^8) miles far from the sun than the Earth.
