Closest, or Perihelion. This is usually around January.
Earth is about 147.1 million kilometers (91.4 million miles) from the Sun at perihelion (the point closest to the Sun in it elliptical orbit) at about January 3rd.
Venus can get closer to the Earth and it can also get further away (when it is on the opposite side of the Sun in it's orbit). At closest approach Venus is about 41 million kilometers. At perihelion (point in orbit closest to the Sun) Earth is 147 million km from the Sun.
Distance from Earth to Sun = 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) , about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Since the Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, sometimes we are a bit farther from the Sun (152 million km), and sometimes we are a bit closer (147 million km).
planet? Earth is 150 million km from the sun
The closest distance from the earth to the sun is about 147 kilometers. This figure changes all the time and at its farthest, the sun is about 152 kilometers away.
Closest to the sun. At perihelion, Earth it is 91 million miles (147 million km.) from the Sun. At aphelion, it is 95 million miles (152 million km.) from the Sun. The difference is only about 4 million miles (5 million km.), which, for all practical purposes, is a perfectly circular orbit. This sets the Earth apart from all other planets, especially Mars and Venus, each of which have a perihelion and aphelion that differ significantly.
149.6 million km
150 million km :) :-
57.79 million km.
At different times of the year, Earth is different distances from the sun because the Earth's orbit around the sun is like an oval so the distances change. When Earth is the closest to the sun, it is 147 million km (91,341,565 miles). When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is 152 million km (94,448,421 miles).
The Earth reaches its closest point to the Sun, known as perihelion, around January 3 each year. At this time, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is approximately 147 million kilometers (about 91 million miles). This event is part of Earth’s elliptical orbit and varies slightly each year.
The Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 km, while the Sun has a diameter of about 1.4 million km. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 150 million km, which is known as an astronomical unit (AU).
