To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the given distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) to the given distance that Earth is farther (2.6 x 10^7 miles).
67,000,000 miles + 2.6 x 10^7 miles = 89,000,000 miles
The distance from Earth to the sun is 89,000,000 miles.
In scientific notation to 1 decimal place, this is written as: 8.9 x 10^7 miles.
The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6 x 10^7 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place. (1 point)
