Question

To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun and the additional distance provided.

1. The distance from Venus to the sun is approximately 67,000,000 miles, which can be expressed in scientific notation as:
\[
6.7 \times 10^7 \text{ miles}
\]

2. The distance from Earth to the sun is \(2.6 \times 10^7\) miles farther than that from Venus to the sun:
\[
\text{Distance from Earth to the sun} = \text{Distance from Venus to the sun} + \text{Additional distance}
\]
\[
= 6.7 \times 10^7 + 2.6 \times 10^7
\]

3. Now, we can add these two scientific notations:
\[
6.7 \times 10^7 + 2.6 \times 10^7 = (6.7 + 2.6) \times 10^7 = 9.3 \times 10^7 \text{ miles}
\]

Thus, the distance from Earth to the sun is:
\[
\boxed{9.3 \times 10^7} \text{ miles}
\]
