The distance between earth to the sun has a name. The name for this distance, is called 1 AU (1 astronomical unit) (92,935,700 miles) (8.3 light minutes away) but the distance changes depending on the position of the orbit. Minimum distance- 146 million km (91 million miles) Maximum distance- 152 million km (94.5 million miles). These distance are the range of how far or close the earth is to the sun.

1 Astronomical Unit = 149 598 000 kilometersFell free to convert it to miles if you wish... Just divide it by 1,6 and you will have it.

How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Distance from the earth?
distance earth from the sun
Earth and sun distance?
The distance from Sun to Earth is about 150 million kilometers.
What is the distance from sun to Earth in Au's?
An AU, or astronomical unit, is defined as the average distance from Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance from Earth to the Sun equals 1 AU.
An astronomical unit is the average distance between the?
One AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
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.
What do you call it when earth is at its max distance from sun?
the max distance from earth to sun is known as aphelion
Which is the closest distance of the earth from the sun?
it is about 92 million miles from the earth to the sun at its closest distance.
What is the distance of the sun called?
I think you mean the distance from the Earth to the Sun. This distance is measured in Astronomical Units (AU)
How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
What is the distance of the sun and the moon?
The Sun is at a distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth; the Moon is at a distance of about 380,000 kilometers from Earth.
The distance from the sun and earth?
Earth is the third planet from the Sun at a distance of 149.6 million kilometers or 1 astronomical unit (AU) on average.
