Answer:

it would be about 5984 times around the earth

Explanation:

first of all 149,000,000 miles is active lifetime

Using those measurements, the equatorial circumference of Earth is about 24,901 miles

so therefore if you divide 149,000,000 by 24,901 you would get the answer of 5983.69543392 so if you round all the numbers to the nearest whole number you would get 5984

hope tis helps out with your question
