0.523 AU apart. On average. Neither the earth's orbit, or particularly Mars' orbit are perfect circles. So "closest approach" is rarely this distance.

Do AUs measure the speed of light?

No. An A.U. is the average radius of the Earths orbit around the Sun. (which can be measured in light years or light minutes (about 8) if you want).

What is smaller an astronomical unit or the average size of Neptune's orbit?

Neptune's orbit has a mean radius of 30 AUs. The Earth's orbit has a mean radius of 1 AU, which is how an AU is defined, so 1 AU is much smaller than Neptune's orbit.


Take 20 years to orbit sun how far away in au?

You're a bit farther out than Jupiter. Jupiter takes about 19 years and is approximately 5 AUs away. So you would have to be around 5 AUs away


How far is mars from earth in miles and Au's?

The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun while Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun so the distance from Earth to Mars varies from 1.52-1 to 1.52+1 AU, which is quite a range. To put AUs into miles multiply by 93,000,000.

How many AU's is the dwarf planet Pluto from the sun?

Pluto has an orbit that varies greatly in its distance from the sun. At a minimum, Pluto is 29.6 AUs from the Sun (about 2.8 billion miles). At a maximum, Pluto is 49.3 AUs from the Sun (about 4.5 billion miles). 1 AU is equal to 93 million miles, the distance from Earth to the Sun.

How long is a year on Phobos?

Phobos is one of the moons of Mars. Mars averages 1.52 AU from the Sun, while the Earth averages 1 AU from the Sun. So at conjunction (when Mars is closest to Earth), Mars is about .5 AU away, and at opposition (Mars on the other side of the Sun from us) Mars is about 2.5 AU away. This is an over-simplification; Mars' orbit is more eccentric than Earth's, by about 9%. Sometimes Mars is a little closer than .52 AU at conjunction, and sometimes it is a little further away. But not by much.
