The altitude of weather satellite orbiting the earth measured in kilometers is 1400 km
Given that :
Orbiting altitude of weather satellite is given as = 1,400,000 meters
We need to convert the given measure in meters to kilometers.
Converting the altitude to kilometer :
Recall :
1000 meter = 1 kilometer
1,400,000 meter = x kilometer
Let x = equivalent altitude in kilometer ;
Cross multiply :
1000 * x 1,400,000,
1000 * x= 1400000
Divide both sides by 1000
x = 1,400,000 / 1000
x = 1400 km
Hence, the altitude of the weather satellite orbiting earth is measured in kilometers is 1400.
