Answer

$a.$ Sceintific notation from Sun to:
$ \text { Earth }=149600000=1496 \times 10^5=1.496 \times 10^8 $
$ \text { Jupiter }=778300000=7783 \times 10^5=7.783 \times 10^8 $
$ \text { Mars }=227900000=2279 \times 10^5=2.297 \times 10^8 $
$ \text { Mercury }=57900000=579 \times 10^5=5.97 \times 10^7 $
$ \text { Neptune }=4497000000=4497 \times 10^6=4.497 \times 10^9 $
$ \text { Pluto }=5900000000=59 \times 10^8=5.9 \times 10^9 $
$ \text { Saturn }=1427000000=1427 \times 10^6=1.427 \times 10^9 $
$ \text { Uranus }=28700000000=287 \times 10^7=2.87 \times 10^9 $
$ \text { Venus }=108200000=1082 \times 10^5=1.082 \times 10^8 $
