What is the distance in Au between the sun and mercury which is km from the sun?
At its furthest (aphelion) 0.467 AU and at its nearest (perihelion) 0.307 AU.
What is the AU?
AU is short for astronomical units. You use astronomical units to measure distance in the solar system. distances of the planets from the sun mercury-0.4 AU venus-0.7 AU earth-1 AU mars-1.5 AU jupiter-5.2 AU saturn-9.5 AU uranus-19.2 AU neptune-30 AU
What is the relative distance of Mercury and the Sun?
The orbit of Mercury is elliptical. This means that its orbit travels the path of an ellipse, and isn't always the same distance from the Sun. When Mercury makes its closest approach to the Sun, astronomers call this perihelion. So, the perihelion of Mercury is 46 million kilometers (29 million miles), or 0.307 astronomical units (1 AU is the distance from the Sun to the Earth). The furthest point of a planet's orbit is called the aphelion. So in the case of Mercury, its furthest point stretches out to 70 million km (44 million miles), or 0.466 astronomical units.
What is this distance from earth to the sun in atomic units?
The distance to the sun is one astronomical unit (AU). The earth-sun distance is the basis for the AU.
Is the distance from the sun always 100 AU?
No. The distance to the sun is approximately 1 AU. However, our actual distance to the sun varies by about 2% throughout the year.
How much AU is mercury?
0.387 is the average distance from the Sun to Mercury in AU. Note: AU=astronomical unit
What is the distance between the sun and mercury in au?
Mercury's Astronomical units is .39 rounded off or if you want to be semi precise it would be .3870320856
What is the distance in Au between the sun and mercury which is km from the sun?
At its furthest (aphelion) 0.467 AU and at its nearest (perihelion) 0.307 AU.
Which planet is 0.38 Au from the sun?
Mercury averages around this distance from the sun.
Is the distance from the Sun to Mercury constant?
No. At Aphelion (furthest distance) it is 69,816,900 km or 0.467 AU from the sun. At perihelion (nearest) it is 46,001,200 km or 0.387 AU from the sun.
How many AU is Mercury?
On the average, one. The astronomical unit is the distance from the sun to the earth. Since Mercury is inside earth's orbit and the distance between Earth and Mercury can vary by the full width of Mercury's orbit around the sun, the average is the distance between the Earth and the sun.
What is the farthest distance earth can be from mercury?
The largest distance between Earth and Mercury is when they are at opposite ends of the Sun. So the farthest they can be is 0.38+1 = 1.38 AU.
How many astronomical units is the sun from Mercury?

What is the distance from the planet Neptune to the planet mercury?
Depends which distance you want to know. From 1900 to 2099 the distances ranged from 29.48 astronomical units (au) to 30.66 au. The averages close approaches were 29.69 au and the far ones, 30.45 au. The average distances from the Sun are 30.07 au and 0.39 au. The difference there is 29.68 au. They are currently 30.29 au apart. An astronomical unit is the average Earth-Sun distance. 149.6 million km mercury diameter 4878km neptune diameter 2200 km
