Multiply 90 by 1,609.344: 144,840.96 meters :)

Answer:

The distance is \(1.45\times 10^{11}\) meters.

Explanation:

Distance of the earth from the sun = 90.0 million miles

=\(90\times 10^6 miles=9\times 10^7 miles\)

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

\(9\times 10^7 miles=9\times 1067\times 1609.344 meters\)

\(=1.448\times 10^{11} m\approx 1.45\times 10^{11} m\)
