Answer:
1.475 × 10¹⁴ mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 light year = 5.9 × 10⁹ mi and the Earth is located about 25,000 light-years from the Milky Way's rim, the approximate distance, in miles, from Earth to the rim of the Milky Way is 25,000 light year = 25,000 × 1 light year
= 25,000 × 5.9 × 10⁹ mi
= 147.5 × 10¹² mi
= 1.475 × 10¹⁴ mi
