it's 93 MILLION miles away. To put this in perspective, if you could leave home on your own private jet and go around the world, ending back at home, you would have traveled a measly 24,901 miles. You'd have to go around the world 373 times to cover the distance from here to the sum.

The tutor "addingup" made a mistake in his estimation. 

Concretely, the mistake in this phrase:

    "You'd have to go around the world 373 times to cover the distance from here to the sum."


The correct statement is: 

    "You'd have to go around the world 3734.8 times to cover the distance from here to the sum."
