Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The average distance from Earth to the Sun is $9.3 \times10^{7}$ miles. The conversion factor from miles to kilometers is1.60934 km/mile

STEP 2

We need to convert the distance from miles to kilometers. We can do this by multiplying the distance in miles by the conversion factor.
$Distance_{km} = Distance_{miles} \\times Conversion\, factor$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the distance in miles and the conversion factor to calculate the distance in kilometers.
$Distance_{km} =9.3 \times10^{7}\, miles \\times1.60934\, km/mile$

STEP 4

Calculate the distance in kilometers.
$Distance_{km} =9.3 \times10^{7}\, miles \\times1.60934\, km/mile =1.4967262 \times10^{8}\, km$ The average distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately $1.4967262 \times10^{8}$ kilometers.
