The sun is 8 light minutes away from earth, or 15 billion kilometers away from earth, in the middle of our solar system which the earth is orbiting, not the sun orbiting the earth.
The previous answer said that beyond mars is the deepest part of space.
This is 100% wrong.
Although after mars is already the asteroid belt and after it is already the outer planets of the solar system, our solar system is too tiny a fraction of space than you can imagine.

No because the sun is in space. It is illogical for a person to dig far down in the Earth and get to the sun. So there you have my dear friend.

=Sun=

How far away is the sun to a meteroid?
It depends entirely on where the meteoroid is. They could be literally anywhere in space.
Why is it that more of space is not illuminated by the Sun?
Every body in the solar system is lit by the light of the sun. The space in between the bodies has nothing to reflect the sunlight back to your eyes. because it may be to far from it.
How far in space do you travel to get to the space station?
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.
How close does Saturn get to the sun during its orbit?

How far are meteorites from the sun?
They are about 93 million miles from the Sun. That's how far the Earth is from the Sun and they are all here on the Earth. You see, a "meteorite" is defined as a "meteoroid" that's landed on Earth from space. You probably meant "meteoroid". These are closely associated with the asteroid belt, but their distances from the Sun vary a lot.
