1,800 ly
Approx 59 ly.
Mercury is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
The earth is 149.6 million km from the sun.
you can fit 1million planets the size of earth in the sun
433 ± 6 ly
1,800 ly
Approximately 26,000 light years.
Approx 59 ly.
The sun is estimated to be 24,900 ± 1,000 ly from the galactic centre.
Obviously the closest star is our own sun (Sol) at 149,597,892 kilometers (92,955,820.5 miles). Then comes Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B at 4.3 ly, Barnard's Star at 6 ly and Wolf 359 at 7.7 ly.
Earth is the third planet from Sol (the sun).
The distance of planet earth from the sun is an average of about 100 times the sun's diameter.
Mercury--Sun= AU Venus--Sun= AU Earth--Sun=1 AU Mars--Sun= AU Jupiter--Sun= AU Saturn--Sun= AU Uranus--Sun= AU Neptune--Sun= AU Pluto--Sun= AU
Both measurements used for distance in space are LY (Light Years) and AU (Astronomical Unit) Respectively the measurement LY measures distance in the speed of light and our cycle of 1 year orbit, so something that is 1 LY away works like this - the light takes one earth year to reach that us from that object (usually a Sun/Star) therefore if we were to travel at the speed of light it would take us one year to reach our destination AU is measures distance by using the earth and the sun - and the basis of this is that the earth from the sun is 1 Astronomical Unit. This is mostly used to calculate distance in our own solar system, objects far out of our immediate system are measured mostly using LY
The Stellarium planetarium program tells me that it is 214 LY to Matar.
There are 2 planets closer to the Sun from the Earth
