To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we start with the distance from Venus to the sun, which is approximately 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6 times \( 10^7 \) miles farther than this distance.
First, we should convert \( 67,000,000 \) miles into scientific notation: \[ 67,000,000 = 6.7 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
Now, the distance from Earth to the sun is: \[ 67,000,000 \text{ miles} + 2.6 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
We can also write \( 67,000,000 \) miles in the same format: \[ 6.7 \times 10^7 + 2.6 \times 10^7 \]
Next, we add the two distances: \[ (6.7 + 2.6) \times 10^7 = 9.3 \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
Thus, the distance from Earth to the sun is: \[ \boxed{9.3} \times 10^7 \text{ miles} \]
