Answer:- \(1,000\) AU

Step-to-step-explanation:-

Given:  A newly discovered solar system is found 150 billion kilometers from the sun.

It is known that 1 billion= 1000 millions

Then 150 billion= 150,000 millions

We know that 1 AU = 150 million kilometers

Then 1 million kilometers=\(\frac{1}{150}\) AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=\(150,000\times\frac{1}{150}\) AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=\(1,000\) AU

Hence, A newly discovered solar system is found \(1,000\) AU from the sun.
