To estimate the number of miles the Earth travels in one complete revolution around the sun, we need to calculate the circumference of its orbit.

The formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2Ο€r, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.

In this case, the radius of the Earth's orbit is the average distance between the Earth and the center of the sun, which is given as 93 million miles.

By substituting this value into the formula, we have C = 2Ο€(93 million miles).

To find the approximate answer, we can use the value of Ο€ as 3.14.

C β‰ˆ 2(3.14)(93 million miles)

Simplifying this, we get C β‰ˆ 584.04 million miles.

Therefore, on average, the Earth travels approximately 584.04 million miles in one complete revolution around the sun.
