The distance from Earth to the sun is actually about 93 million miles, which is often approximated as 93,000,000 miles.
However, based on the values you provided, it seems there may be a mistake in your initial statement regarding the distance ("2.6 miles") because it doesn't align with the commonly accepted value.
If we focus on the scientific notation options you provided and the correct distance, the closest correct answer in standard (decimal) notation would be 93,000,000 miles (which is also equal to \(9.3 \times 10^7\) miles).
But from your options:
- \(26,000,000\) miles
- \(0.00000027\) miles
- \(2,600,000\) miles
- \(26,000\) miles
The correct option does not appear to be listed since the typical distance is about 93 million miles.
If you meant to say the distance is around 26 million miles as a typo, that could correspond more to a value of \( 2.6 \times 10^7 \) miles, which is equivalent to \(26,000,000\) miles in decimal notation.
So, if the question was truly aimed at what **26 million miles** is in standard notation, the answer is **26,000,000 miles**. Please check the initial distance statement for accuracy.
