The sun is 93,000,000 miles away. That's really far!
The Earth orbits about 93 million miles from the Sun (150 million kilometers). It is an elliptical orbit, and the Earth is a little closer to the Sun in January, and a little further out in July. But the difference is not great, only 1.5 million miles closer or farther out.
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is also called 1 astronomical unit (or AU). This is established as 149, 597, 870.7 kilometers (92,955,887.6 miles).
- Aphelion (when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun) occurs around the first week of July. The distance is about 152 million km (94.4 million miles).
- Perihelion (when the Earth is closest to the Sun) occurs in the first week of January. The distance is about 147 million km (91.3 million miles).
Although the Earth is closer to the Sun during "summer" in the Southern Hemisphere, the temperatures are actually warmer during the "summer" in the Northern Hemisphere. This is mainly due to the larger land areas in the Northern Hemisphere, which can increase in temperature more than water areas (the Southern Hemisphere is mostly oceans).

What is the diameter of earth from the sun in miles?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The diameter of the earth through the poles is 12,715.43 km or 7,901.000 miles. Thus the earth is 41 km or 25 miles wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).
