The scientific notation of 91,650,000 is
`9.165* 10^7`.

Explanation:

It is given than earth is approximately 91,650,000 miles from the sun at the closest point in its orbit.

Scientific notation of a number is a mathematical expression, that is used to represent a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by ten, so you can write large numbers using less digits.

The given distance is 91,650,000.

Scientific notation is

`91,650,000=9.165* 10,000,000`

`91,650,000=9.165* 10^7`

Therefore the scientific notation of 91,650,000 is
`9.165* 10^7`.

Answer 2
