An astronomical unit is equivalent to 9.2956 E7 miles. 105 astronomical units is then equal to roughly 9.76 billion miles.
The mean (or average) distance from the earth to the sun is 93 million miles. This is also called an AU or Astronomical Unit.
That is a very good estimate of the earth's circumference in miles, 24,901.5 miles. It is not earth's diameter. 7926 miles is an estimate of earth's diameter.
The circumference of the earth in miles is about 24,901 miles. The diameter is about 7,926 miles.
9 miles above earth
The equatorial circumference of the earth is 24901.45 miles (40075.02 km).
There were two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The most distant is Voyager 1 which is currently just of 10 billion miles from the Sun. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched in 1977 are now both in the region of the solar sytem called the heliosheath, over 16 Billion kilometres away form the earth. The heliosheath is the region of the solar system between the Termination Shock Zone and the Heliopause
Voyager I and Voyager II, launched in 1977 have flown to the edge of our solar system. As of February 2009, Voyager I is about 10 billion miles (10,000,000,000) from the sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_I
As of December '08 Voyager 1 is about 10 billion miles from Earth
An Astronomical Unit, or AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth. One Astronomical Unit is 92 955 887.6 miles.
In August 1977 Voyager 2 was launched and in September 1977 Voyager 1 was launched. Although launched 16 days after Voyager 2, Voyager 1 reached Jupiter first and began sending photos back to Earth in January 1979.

Earth is the third planet from the sun. Astronomical Unit is the phrase that is used to describe the distance from the Earth to the sun. An astronomical Unit equals 92,955,807 miles.
Voyager 2 was launched on Aug. 20, 1977. Voyager 1 was launched on Sept. 5, 1977. On March 7, Voyager 1 was 17.4 billion kilometers (10.8 billion miles) away from the sun. Voyager 2 was 14.2 billion kilometers (8.8 billion miles) away from the sun, on a different trajectory. To my knowledge these are objects are the farthest man made creations from our star.
One astronomical unit means the distance from the earth and the sun (which is 93 million miles).
The "Astronomical Unit" is approximately the radius of Earth's orbit from the Sun. It's about 93,000,000 miles.
Remember, the question is how many miles has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled, (Not how far is it from the sun or Earth). Voyager 1 left Earth on 09/05/1977 and today is 06/28/2013. That is approximately 35 3/4th years. In October of 1978, Voyager 1 was traveling at a speed of 34,422 mph, 55397 kph. By March 1979 she had increased her speed to a top speed of 82,935 mph, 133471 kph during her fly by of Jupiter. There are current readings that Voyager 1 is now traveling at a diminishing speed of 37,500 mph, 60,350kph. After all the calculations of the speed differential and speed duration, the average speed is calculated to 37,900 mph. That would mean that the approximate total miles that Voyager 1 has traveled is 11,869,770,400 miles or 19,102,543km. Now the distance from the Sun to Voyager 1 is approximately 122 AUs (Astronomical units). An AU is the distance from the Earth to the sun and that is approximately 92,955,807 miles, 149597870 km which would make the distance from the sun to Voyager 1, 11,340,608,454 miles.
On November 17, 1998, Voyager 1 overtook Pioneer 10 as the most distant man-made object from Earth. As of January 2011, it is around 116 AU from earth, where 1 AU (Astronomical Unit) is 93 million miles (distance of earth to sun).
