Visualize a number line. -6 is four to the left of -2. 6 is eight to the right.
2
It is greater. If you take away less from the same amount then you will have more. 6-7 = -1 6-8 = -2 -1 is greater than -2.
-4
Yes, but the picture will be correspondingly small. The farther away the projector is from the screen, the bigger the picture will be.
Example: +2 and +6. +6 is the greater number because it comes after +2 and is farther from zero.
+6 is 8digits away.-6 is 4 digits away.
If you consider only the magnitude of the two numbers (disregarding the signs) then 6 is greater than 3. But when we have signed numbers, we have to imagine the number line. On the negative side of zero, a negative number closer to zero is considered greater than a negative number that is farther from zero. Similarly on the positive side of zero, a positive number closer to zero is considered smaller than a positive number that is farther from zero. I hope that explains it. -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
-6 degrees Celsius is colder; it is farther from zero than -4 degrees.
The midpoint between -2 and 6 is 2. 2 is 4 units away from both 6 and -2.
(-6×10⁻¹) ÷ (-3×10⁻²) = (-6 ÷ -3)×(10⁻¹ ÷ 10⁻²) = 2×10⁽⁻¹⁾⁻⁽⁻²⁾ = 2×10¹ → -6×10⁻¹ is 2×10¹ = 20 times bigger (further away from zero) than -3×10⁻² (though -6×10⁻¹ is less than -3×10⁻²).
its 2. 6-4=2
Yes, stars are extremely far away compared to the planets. The next closest star to our sun is 285,000 AU away. Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun, is 15 AU away. So the closest star to our sun is nearly 20,000 times as far as the most distant planet in our solar system. The rest of the stars in our galaxy range from 6 light years to about 80,000 light years in distance from us.
