The radius of the earth’s orbit is approximately 150,000,000 kilometers.

What is this number in scientific notation? 
                    A    1.5 × 10
–8   =  1.5x10^-8
                    B    1.5 × 10
8    =   1.5x10^8
                    C    15  × 10
7    =   1.5x10^7
                    D    150× 10
  =   150x10^7

Enrichment:  (1) This represents the orbit of Earth around the Sun. 

When the Earth is in the rightmost position, it's the 1st day of Summer! (Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.)    

 

When the Earth is in the leftmost position, it's the 1st day of Winter. 

Directly above and below the sun, are the Fall and Spring seasons.

 

       "The Four Seasons" -- by Antonio Vivaldi
          

 

(2) Artists throughout the ages have received inspiration from natural phenomenon taking place in the world around them. Italian composer and violinist, Antonio Vivaldi, used the Earth's seasonal relationship to the Sun as inspiration for his masterpiece "The Four Seasons" which consists of four violin concertos, each inspired by a different season.  Listen to an excerpt from each of the concertos. .. Click the buttons above.

Listen for the chirping of birds and the fluttering of their wings to identify Spring. Listen for thunderstorms that  frequently spoil outdoor activities on hot Summer days.  Music Festivals after the Fall harvest.  Winter's bleak, icy weather can make you want to run for shelter ... .

Extra credit (1) Why are June, July, August the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere? (2) What "season" music do you like best? Why? Type your answers below:
