The distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles).

*The average distance from the Sun for Mercury is about 58 million kilometers, and Earth's is about 150 million kilometers. So the average distance between their orbits is about 92 million kilometers (57 million miles). However, the closest distance would occur when Mercury was at its farthest point in its elliptical orbit, the Earth at its closest point, and both planets were aligned in a straight line, on the same side of the Sun.
