For 2012 and 2013, Pluto will be about 3.1 billion miles from Earth.

Pluto's average distance from the Sun is 39.4 AU. (An AU is an Astronomical Unit and is defined as the average distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun.) One AU equals 92,955,807 million miles. But Pluto's distance from the Sun ranges from 29.7 to 49.3 AU. So, depending on the orbits of Pluto and Earth, the distance between the two could be anywhere from 28.7 AU (Earth directly between Pluto and Sun when Pluto is closest to the Sun) to 50.3 AU (Earth directly opposite the Sun from Pluto when Pluto is farthest from the Sun).

This represents a distance that varies from about 2.7 to 4.7 billion miles.

If you need to know the precise distance from Earth to any other celestial object at some particular moment in time, you can use the Stellarium planetarium program to calculate this. Stellarium is free open-source software available from www.stellarium.org.

As of January 13, 2011 at 10:16 PM PST, Pluto was 32.89406876 AU from the Earth, a number which is changing minute-by-minute as both planets follow their orbital paths around the Sun.

Since the planets all orbit in a circular motion, the distance between them is always changing. At its farthest point, Pluto is 4.67 billion miles away from Earth.

What is the actual distance in miles of the planet Pluto?

Pluto's distance from Earth varies from 2.6 to 4.6 billion miles depending on the position of Earth and Pluto in their orbits around the Sun. The distance from the Sun is 2.8 to 4.5 billion miles.


How many miles is Pluto from the Earth?

When I was a kid Pluto was closer to the sun than Neptune. Now it is further away. The distance between Pluto and earth will vary as Pluto orbits the sun--Pluto's orbit is fairly eccentric. At aphelion (furthest distance from the sun) Pluto is 48.871 AU (average earth/sun distance) from the sun. That is 4.542 billion miles. When the earth is on the opposite side of the sun, that would maximize the distance to Pluto at close to 4.635 billion miles (4.542 billion plus 93 million). Pluto will reach its next maximum distance from us in 2113, just over a century from now (2012). At its closest Pluto is 29.657 AU from the sun, or 2.757 billion miles. Some time during 1989 earth and Pluto were lined up on the same side of the sun, and the distance between them was minimized to roughly 2.664 billion miles.

How many AU's is the dwarf planet Pluto from the sun?

Pluto has an orbit that varies greatly in its distance from the sun. At a minimum, Pluto is 29.6 AUs from the Sun (about 2.8 billion miles). At a maximum, Pluto is 49.3 AUs from the Sun (about 4.5 billion miles). 1 AU is equal to 93 million miles, the distance from Earth to the Sun.
