What is the difference in millions of miles in the planet mercury and the sun?
The planet Mercury is 28.5 million miles from the sun. The planet Earth is 93 million miles from the sun. The difference is 66.5 million miles, is this what you are asking? That is the closet the sun is to Mercury. Mercury's orbit is very elliptical. The furthest distance is 43 Million miles. The difference is 50 million miles. The only problem is: In the solar system all planets are orbiting the sun. Their orbits are such that the distance between planets is not the difference between their relative distances fro, the sun. At one time the earth and mercury could be on either the same side or completely opposite sides of the sun. More data is needed
What is the circumference of Mercury?
Mercury circumference is 15,329 km or 9,525 miles.
Which layer is 30 to 50 miles from earth?
The layer that is 30 to 50 miles is ozone. It is a protective layer.
How long would it take to get to mercury from the sun by car?
Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of about 36 million Mercury is the planet nearest the sun. It has a diameter of 3,032 miles (4,879 kilometers), about two-fifths of Earth's diameter. Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of about 36 million miles (58 million kilometers), compared with about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) for Earth.Because of Mercury's size and nearness to the brightly shining sun, the planet is often hard to see from the Earth without a telescope. At certain times of the year, Mercury can be seen low in the western sky just after sunset. At other times, it can be seen low in the eastern sky just before sunrise. so it would be hard to find it in a car butfrom earth in a car going 60 miles a hour Answer: 1550000 hours. By Rojae Rowe
Was the earth formed 50 million years ago?
The current best estimate for the age of the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years, so it is much older than 50 million years!
How far is moon from mars?
The moon orbits the earth at a distance of about 240 thousand miles. The earth orbits the sun at a distance of about 90 million miles. Mars orbits the sun at a distance at about 140 million miles, and these orbits are not purely circular. So the distance from earth to mars varies wildly from around 50 million miles to around 230 million miles. So the odd 1/4 of a million miles that the moon is from earth is a triviality in comparison.
What planet is 50 million miles away from earth?
About twice a year Venus is 50 million miles from the Earth. Once a year Mars comes within the 50 million mile range.
How many kilometers has the earth revolved around the sun since you were born?
I'm 50. So data from "How far is Earths orbit" gives an orbit of 584 million miles. 584 x 50 = 29,200 million miles.
Is mars is very near to earth?
Well the earth is 93 million miles from the sun. Mars is 142 million miles from the sun. At their closest they're about 50 million miles apart, but because they go around the sun at different rates they're much farther apart most of the time. So to answer your question. Is that very near. I would say no. It is near, but not very near.

What are some unique characteristics of planet earth that make it a place for life?
There are three major characteristics for life, as we know:1. First it must be in the "Goldilocks Zone" and area where it not to hot or cold.at 50% the mass of the sun the zone is 9.3 million miles to 41.85 millionat 75% the mass of the sun the zone is 41.85 million miles to 93 million milesat the mass of our sun the zone 41.85 million miles to 116.25 million milesat 150% mass the zone is 93 million miles to 279 million milesat 200% mass the zone is 186 million miles to 465 million miles2. Next, it must be the right size. If it is too big, it will be a gas planet3. Last, It has the right components. Contains 02, CO2, and H20 but in some cases anaerobic bacteria would have methane and water.
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
What do you call when the earth is not facing the sun?
There is always 50% of the Earth facing the sun and 50% NOT facing it. If youhappen to be on the half that's not facing the sun, you would call that "night".
How many miles is the crust of earth?
