The closest gas giant, Jupiter, is about 5 AU from the Sun - that is, 5 times the distance from Sun to Earth. The other gas giants are farther away.
The distances between inner planets are relatively close compared to the distances between outer planets. For example, the distance between Earth and Venus is around 25 million miles on average, while the distance between Earth and Mars can vary from 34 million to 250 million miles due to their elliptical orbits.
Both are units used to measure distances. An angstrom is 10-10 meters - a very small unit. An AU is the distance from Earth to Sun, used to compare distances in the Solar System - a distance of about 150 million kilometers.Both are units used to measure distances.

well you see, the earth is already out of the question, as it is tiny compared to the sun alone. When it comes to our sun, it is one of the large we are currently able to view and study, other that red giants and super giants. is this helps try looking up a book called space. it will hold these answers in more detail

The Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star.
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
You would use Astronomical Units (AU). These are defined as being the average distance between the earth and sun, 1 AU is the earth to sun distance, which is around 93 million miles or 150 million km. You can use km or miles, but it becomes difficult to compare distances due to the large numbers needed. By saying 0.38AU is the sun to mercury distance for example, you can directly compare with the earth sun distance. So mercury to sun distance would be 38% of the sun to earth distance.

It is the distance of the extension of what your eyes can see. If the earth wasn't formed, there can be no possibility of measuring distances to or from it.
It is the distance from the earth to the sun = 93,000,000 miles
