1"AU" =9.3xx10^7 " miles"

Explanation:

The distance between the sun and the earth is known as 1 astronomical unit or 1AU.

This is equivalent to 93 million miles.

93,000,000 " miles" = 9.3xx10^7 " miles"

You get the 7 because there are 7 digits after the first digit, 9, and you need to include the 3 somewhere so you simply put that after the decimal point.
