If an object is 9.58 astronomical units away from the sun how would it's distance from the sun compare to the earths distance from the sun? how do you know?

 The object is 9.58 times farther from the sun than the earth.

Explanation:

We know that one astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the Earth and sun.

Given: The distance between an object and the sun =  9.58 astronomical units

Since, The distance between the earth and the sun = 1 astronomical unit.

The ratio of the distance between an object and the sun to the distance between the earth and the sun will be :-

That is the object is 9.58 times farther from the sun than the earth.
