Verified Answer :

Option C is the correct answer,

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of planet Jupiter from the Sun is approximately 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers.

Distance from Jupiter to Sun = 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers

The distance of planet Saturn from the Sun is 1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers.

Distance from Saturn to Sun = 1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers

Difference in distances = 1.5 x 10⁹ - 7.8 x 10⁸ = 15 x 10⁸ - 7.8 x 10⁸

Difference in distances = 7.2 x 10⁸ kilometers

Option C is the correct answer,
