The exact distance between the Earth and the Sun varies with its position in its orbit, which is elliptical. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles or about 150 million kilometers. This distance is also called 1 astronomical unit (AU).

Around the first week of July (Aphelion - when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun), the distance is about 94.4 million miles or 152 million kilometers. Around the first week of January (Perihelion - when the Earth is the closest to the Sun), the distance is about 91.3 million miles or 147 million kilometers.
