At 20:45 on September 8 2012 the NASA-JPL website had 159,581,848 km as the distance to the Spitzer telescope.
Six minutes later they show 159,582,120 km as the distance.

The Spitzer space telescope belongs to NASA. The Spitzer space telescope was launched into space in August 2003 . It captures images of the planets and other objects in the universe that cannot be observed from earth.
Spitzer gets a much clearer view of the wavelengths that are blocked by the Earth's atmoshere
The distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million km .
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.
One "Astronomical Unit" is (more or less) the average distance between the Sun and Earth.

No, there's a great number of highly specialized telescopes in orbit. The most famous ones apart from Hubble are the Spitzer Space Telescope (for infrared) and the Chandra (for X-rays).

The distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million km .
The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
