The Sun is approximately 93,000,000 (93 Million miles or 150 million km from Earth). So how far away is that? Light - 8.3 minutes Sound - 121,078 hours or 13.8 years (if there was an atmosphere to travel through (In space no one can hear you scream)) Space Shuttle - 5, 369 hours or 7.3 months Concorde - 69,925 hours or 8 years Boeing 747 - 164,021 hours or 18.7 years Dragster - 276,876 hours or 31.5 years Dads Car- 930,000 hours or 106 years (~100 mph) Cheetah - 1,240,000 hours or 141.5 years Running - 9,300,000 hours or 1,060 years (~10 mph) Walking - 31 million hours or 3,536 years!!!! And if you were a gastropod Snail - 41.6 billion hours or 4.7 million years.

∙ 14y agoIf I understand your question correctly I believe the answer is 91.4 million miles to 94.6 million miles.
see Discussion...
closest = 92.2 mil;
farthest = 93.8.

∙ 13y agoThe mean average distance of the earth from the sun is known as the semi-major axis. This is 149,598,261 km or 92,956,050 miles, which is also the basis for one astronomical unit (AU).

How many AU's?
An AU (Astronomical Unit) is the mean distance between Earth and our Sun . . .149,597,871 kilometers.
The distance from Earth to the Sun is 1.0 of what unit?
The distance from the sun to the earth is one Astronomical Unit (AU).An AU, as defined by the International Astronomical Union, is the mean distance between the sun and the earth. That mean (or average) distance is about 149 million km (93 million miles).
Why does the moon and earth have the same astronomical units?
If you mean the same distance from the sun, it is because the moon orbits Earth nearly 400 times closer than Earth orbits the sun. This is less than the variation in Earth's distance from the sun due to its orbital eccentricity.
How do you convert a planets distance from the sun to earth units?
Do I understand correctly, that you want the distance from Earth to planet? If the planet is in line with the Sun, to get the distance to Earth you add or subtract the distance from Sun to Earth (about 150 million km.). If the planet is in another direction, it can be anything in between, depending on the angle. You need to use trigonometry in that case.
How much light does Venus get from the sun compared to Earth?
venus has much light because it is closer to the sun
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)
What is your distance from the sun?
Pretty much the same as yours, give or take the radius of the Earth. So the answer is: mean distance from the Sun + or - 6357 km. The Earth's mean distance from the Sun is about 149.6 million kilometers.
What is the vocabulary word for distance between the earth and the sun?
One Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
What is the distance from the sun from the earth?
92,955,807.27 miles is the mean Earth-Sun distance. This number is also what is commonly referred to as an astronomical unit.
What is the mean distance from earth?
The mean distance or semi major axis of the Earth from the Sun is:149,597,887.5 km92,955,818 miles1.0000001124 AU
Is it true an astronomical unit is the distance from earth to the moon?
No. The AU is the mean (average) distance from Earth to the Sun.
Where is the sun and the moon?
The Sun is at a mean distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth. The Moon is at a mean distance of 380,000 kilometers from Earth. The direction at which you find them vary over time.
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
How many years from earth is the sun?
I believe you mean "how far is the earth from the sun"? The mean distance of the Sun from the Earth is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (93.5 million miles), though the distance varies as the Earth moves from perihelion in January to aphelion in July. At this average distance, light travels from the Sun to Earth in about 8 minutes and 19 seconds.
Which planet is about 10 times as far from the sun as the earth?
Saturn, Its mean distance is 9.53 AU, where one AU (Astronomical Unit) is the earth to sun distance.
How for is the sun from the earth?
The mean distance of the Sun from the Earth is approximately 149,600,000 kilometers, or 92,960,000 miles, and its light travels this distance in 8 minutes and 19 seconds
How far away is the sun from the earth in earth diameters?
The distance from Earth to Sun is about 150 million kilometers. It isn't clear what you mean with "in diameters".
