Earth is at its maximum distance from the sun in July. In 2012, it was farthest from the sun on July 4th or 5th.
The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.
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
The distance from Sun to Earth is about 150 million kilometers.
At its closest, Earth is about 796 million miles away from Saturn-------------------------------------That is when Saturn and Earth are both on the same side of the Sun and Saturn is at perihelion and Earth is at aphelion. Obviously this happens very rarely and most of the time Saturn and Earth are separated by much more distance with the maximum distance occurring when Saturn and Earth are at opposite sides of the Sun and both at aphelion.
One AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.
Aphelion.
At it point of aphelion in its elliptical orbit Round the Sun. This happens on the 4th of July each year. At this moment the Sun - Earth distance is 152,102,196 kilometers.
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.
No matter where earth and Neptune are in their orbits about the sun, Neptune will always be the furthest planet from us. The reason is that the distance between Uranus and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the earth and sun.
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a maximum distance of about 94,500,000 miles and a minimum distance of about 91,500,000 miles. The standard answer of an "average of 93 million miles" is normally close enough.
The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.
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
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.
Venus can be fairly close to Earth, or it can be on the other side of the Sun. To get the (approximate) range of distances:* Look up the distance from Sun to Earth. * Look up the distance from Sun to Venus. * Add both to get the maximum distance; subtract them to get the minimum distance.
distance earth from the sun
The distance varies between 4.3 and 4.7 billion kilometers. Neptune is about 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth, and is the outermost of the 8 major planets.When the Earth is on the same side of the sun as Neptune, the distance to Neptune is shorter than the distance when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun from Neptune. The distance also changes because both planets revolve round the sun in ellipses, so their distance from the Sun varies. The distance of the Earth from the Sun varies from about 147.1 million kilometers to 152.1 million kilometers. The distance of Neptune from the Sun varies from 4.45 billion km to 4.55 billion km.Therefore if the earth was on the opposite side of the sun from Neptune, at its maximum distance from the Sun, and Neptune was also at its maximum distance from the sun, the maximumdistance of Neptune from Earth would be 4702 million km (or 4.702 billion km).If the earth was on the same side of the Sun as Neptune, at its maximum distance from the Sun (ie its nearest distance to Neptune) and Neptune was also at its minimum distance from the sun (ie, its nearest distance to earth), the minimum distance of Neptune from Earth would be 4298 million km (or 4.298 billion km). This is a variation of about 9%.The average distance is 4564 million km or 4.564 billion kilometers (2.835 billion miles).In other units, this distance would be 30.5 AU or 4.22 light hours or 0.000482 light years.
