So if the sun suddenly burns out, we might not know for 8.3 minutes!

Can you measure the earths distance from the sun in light years?
it would have to be fractional the sun is not far enough
What is he distance from the sun to earths moon in astronomical units?
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is one AU. The Moon orbits the Earth and sometimes is closer and sometimes further away from the Sun, so on average, it is also 1 AU from the Sun.
Planet one astronomical unit from the sun?
The Earth. The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average. This average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU).
Which of these would cause the gravitational force between earth and the sun to decrease?
The combined mass decreasing (eg sun using up fuel). The distance between increasing (eg aphelion , maximum distance during orbit when the earths velocity decreases in compensation).
Which out of the moon or the sun is more attracted to the earths ocean?
The moon has a greater effect than the sun on the earths oceans.

How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
What is the distance from earth to the sun when it is nearest from the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 147,098,290km (91,402,641 miles) at its closest (Perihelion).
What is earths distance fron the sun?

Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
How many times the diameter of Earth is its distance from the Sun?
Earth's equatorial diameter = 7,926 milesAverage distance from the sun = 93,000,000 milesRatio of (distance to the sun) / (diameter) = (93,000,000 / 7,926)= 11,733You'd have to stack 11,733 earths belly-to-belly in order to reach from the sun to where we are.
Why isn't the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause thr seasons?
its to far away
