Why does the Navy , I think, train people to swim in 30 feet of water when the Ocean is so much deeper? How much deeper is the ocean?

People say that the ocean is a reflection of the sky so if the sky is gray then the water is gray but why is the sky blue in the first place ? Could it be possible that the sky is a reflection of the water instead?

1. Diameter of the solar system is approximately: 7,500,000,000 miles

How long would it take to drive this distance? Assume you're going 60 miles per hour.


If I want to know how long it takes to travel 1000 miles at 60 miles per hour, I would use the formula: distance = rate x time

1000 = 60 x time

/60 /60

16.67 hours = time

Could someone explain how to get the answer because I have to do ten more of these.. I mean i know how you take 1000 dived 60 gets 16.67 but how do you get the time.

My other questions is
The distance between the sun and Mercury is approximately: 36,000,000 miles how would i get this answer because i have to write it in scientific notation...

Could anyone please help me thanks..
