Best Answer

The answer is approximately 4.7-4.9 billion miles from earth.

Uranus is a hydrogen gas planet with unknown inner core and very high velocity surface winds.

Average distance from sun is 4.828 billion miles.

Average distance of earth from the sun is 100 million miles.

Both Uranus and Earth have elliptical orbits, so each planet can be closer or farther from the sun at any time of the year.

Also each planet can be on the same side of the sun, or on opposite sides of the sun as they rotate.

So the answer is (a) 4,828,000,000 miles minus 100,000,000 miles = 4.728 billion miles and (b) 4.828 billion miles plus 100 million miles when each planet is on opposite side of sun = 4.928 billion miles

How close did humans get to reaching Uranus?

The furthest humans have got from Earth is to the Moon. Uranus is as much as 20 times further from the Sun than Earth is. The Sun is about 93,000,000 miles from Earth. When Uranus is on the other side of the sun to us, it is even further than 20 times away from us. The moon is only about 250,000 miles from us. So we have travelled a very small fraction of the distance from Earth to Uranus.
