Given the equation of the elliptical orbit is (x+2.5)^2/22,350.25+y^2/22,344=1.

This equation can be written as

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{(x+2.5)^2}{22350.25}+\frac{y^2}{22344}=1 \\ \frac{(x+2.5)}{(149.5)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(149.479)^2}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, if we shift this path by 2.5 units to left then we get

[tex]\frac{x^2}{(149.5)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(149.479)^2}=1[/tex]

The farthest distance of the earth from the sun will be 149.5 - 2.5 = 147 million of kilometers

Thus, option C is correct.
