It's a mathematical convience, it COULD be measured from anywhere.
However, it's simpler to consider all the mass of the Earth as a dot located at the Earth's core. It is false, but depending on the problem you're trying to solve, the errors are unually small.
Earth's distance to the Sun changes. Planets, including Earth, move around the Sun (or other stars) in ellipses, not in exact circles.
Because the earth's path around the sun ... its "orbit" ... is not a circle, and the
distance is not constant throughout the year.
The minimum distance of about 147,098,000 kilometers corresponds to a point in the
orbit, called "perihelion', that we pass in the first few days of January.
The maximum distance ... about 152,098,000 kilometers ... corresponds to a point that
we pass early in July, called "aphelion".
In 2010, the earth passed those points on January 3 (perihelion, nearest) and on
July 6 (aphelion, farthest).
The average distance from Earth to the Sun is called the astronomical unit (AU), and it is equal to about 150 million km.
One Million
you would use kilometers. The distance between their orbital paths is on average 78,341,212 Km apart.
150G meters is the average distance of the earth form the sun.
Average distance = 150,000,000 km or 93,000,000 mi
The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km
A meter is a measure of distance. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Thus 63000000 meters is 63,000 kilometers. To understance the scale of that distance, the average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,400 km so it is about 1/6 of the distance to the Moon.
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
The Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance from the Earth to the sun about 150 million kilometers It is used to measure distance in the solar system.
you would use kilometers. The distance between their orbital paths is on average 78,341,212 Km apart.
No. Earth to the Sun is: Average Distance is 15o million km Earth to the Moon is: Average Distance is 384403 kilometers
150G meters is the average distance of the earth form the sun.
Celsius is a measure of temperature, not distance.
One AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
The mathematical equation which describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure is d = Dcot(p/2)/2 Where d is the distance from Earth to the moon, D is the diameter of the Earth and p is the angle of parallax subtended at moon by the diameter of the Earth.
The average distance between Earth and its moon is 238,000 miles, approximately.
Average distance = 150,000,000 km or 93,000,000 mi
the average distance is 238,857 miles or 384,403 kilometres
Average distance = 150,000,000 km or 93,000,000 mi
