At its closest distance, the moon is approximately 2.25×10^5 miles from the earth. At the point when it is furthest away, the moon is approximately 2.52×10^5 miles from Earth.
What is the difference between the distance from the Earth to the moon at its closest and furthest points? Express your answer in scientific notation.
(2.52 - 2.25) x 10^5 = .27 x 10^5 = 2.7 x 10^4 27,000 Miles difference
(2.52 - 2.25) x 10^5 = .27 x 10^5 = 2.7 x 10^4 27,000 Miles difference
