This distance varies because the earth rotates around the sun in an elipse (oval) - not a circle. The average distance is 150,000,000 kilometers, or 150,000,000,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand million) metres. The distance from Earth to the Sun is so great whether it is the surface of the center is trivial. The distance From the Earth to the Sun varies due to their orbits. The average distance between the Sun and Earth is 93 million miles, or 1 Astronomical unit (AU) which is 149.6 million kilometers.

∙ 11y agoCoincidentally, while searching the internet for a good answer, I discovered that
the IAU just today (09/19/12 or 19/09/12) has revised the official number.
Oh. I should explain that instead of going through a long statement about how
the distance from the Sun to the Earth changes through the year, I just wanted
to find the official number for the Astronomical Unit, and then just say that "This
is the accepted official mean average typical usual common number among the
scientists." That's when I found that the number was revised and redefined today.
So here it is. The number that you can take to the bank and then hang your hat
on it:
The average mean distance between the Earth and Sun when viewed from Earth,
as of September 19, 2012, is

∙ 11y agoThe Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) away from the sun and there is 1609.34 metres in a mile. So 92,960,000x1609.34=1,079,204,246 metres from the Sun

Is the sun the source of all life on earth?
The sun is the source of most of the energy on Earth. Oceans come second.
How many weeks does it take for the earth to orbit the sun?
About 52 weeks, or one year.
How many earth g's make up the sun's 274 g's?
Your units are off. Earth's acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 = 1g The Sun's acceleration due to gravity is 274m/s2 So you must divide: (274m/s2) / (9.8 m/s2)= 28 times as much gravity on the sun than on earth. Or... the sun's gravity is 28g where 1g is the pull on earth.
What is the correct measure of an astronomical unit?
In our system an astronomical unit is the average distance from the earth to the sun which is about 93 million miles. (92,957,000 miles) This is known as 1 AU. It is used to give some concept of how far other planet are away from the sun such as Pluto which is 39.53 AU.150 million kilometers or 93 million miles92,955, 807 miles, or 149,597,870,700 metres.
What keeps earth in its orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
How many meters is it from the sun to the earth?
On average about 150,000,000,000 meters
How many meter did the earth to the sun?
149,597,870,700 meters
What is the earth distance from the sun?
The earth is roughly 150E9 meters form the sun.
How many gigameters is it from here to the sun?
One gigameter (Gm) is equal to one billion meters. The distance from the Earth to the sun is 149,600,000,000 meters, or 149.6 Gm.
What is the distance from earth to the sun in m?
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 150 million kilometers.Since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer,150,000,000 km=150,000,000,000 meters (or 150 billion meters).
What is the diameter of the sun in meters?
The Sun's diameter is approximately 1,391,000,000 meters in length, which is over 100 times the approximate diameter of the Earth (12,756,200 meters).
What is the Average distance of the earth from the sun during its orbit is?
150G meters is the average distance of the earth form the sun.
If the sun is 1.26 meters how big is the earth?
This is a simple algebra problem. The Sun has a diameter of 1,390,000 km, and the Earth has a diameter of 12,756 km. If I'm making a model of the Sun that is 1.26 meters in diameter, what should the diameter of the model Earth be? So, 12756/1390000*1.226 = 0.0112509755 meters, or 1.125 cm. So, if the sun-model is 1.26 meters, about the size of a bicycle wheel, then the earth-model is about the size of a pea.
What is the average distance from the earth to the sun in meter?
150,000,000 meters
On a scale in which the distance from the Sun to the earth is about 400 meters the distance from the earth to the Moon is?
Given the ratio of the distance between the earth to the sun and the earth to the moon, calculations find an incredibly small number, almost 1/400. Multiplying by 400 meters gives a distance of just over 1.028 meters in this comparison.
How many meters from the sun is mars?
About 226,800,000,000 (billion) meters.
How many meters wide is the sun?
1,416,213,920 meters across
