8) The planets are so far apart that rather than measuring the distances in miles or kilometers, Astronomical Units (AU) are often used.  One Astronomical Unit is approximately the distance the Earth is from the sun.  If Venus is 0.72 AU from the sun and Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the sun, how far apart are Venus and Jupiter?  Type in only the number; do not include the units.
