To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles, which can be written as \(6.7 \times 10^7\) miles) to the additional distance given (2.6×10⁷ miles).
-
Start with the distance from Venus to the sun: \[ 67,000,000 \text{ miles} = 6.7 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
-
Add the distance from Earth to the sun: \[ \text{Distance from Earth to the sun} = 6.7 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} + 2.6 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
-
Combine the numbers: \[ = (6.7 + 2.6) \times 10^7 \] \[ = 9.3 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
Thus, the distance from Earth to the sun is \(9.3 \times 10^7\) miles.
So in scientific notation to 1 decimal place, the answer is: \[ \boxed{9.3 \times 10^7} \text{ miles} \]
