No, the distance between the sun and the earth varies continuously because the earth's orbit is elliptical not circular. Also the position of the sun changes in response to the gravitational pull of the planets orbiting it (especially massive Jupiter).

Is mars always the same distance from the sun explain?

Mars is not always the same distance from the sun because it has an elliptical orbit. If it had a perfectly circular orbit, then it would always be the same distance from the sun.


Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?

No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.


Is earth an astronomical unit away from the sun?

An astronomical unit is the average distance from Earth to the sun, so on average, the Earth is one astronomical unit away from the sun. The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so Earth is not always the exact same distance from the sun. The Earth is usually a little farther or a little closer to the sun, depending on where Earth is in its orbit.


Is mars the same distance from the sun to earth?

Going to the sun is farther. :)


Is Wyoming or Hawaii closer to the sun?

Stars in the night sky always maintain the same distance from what?

Stars in the night sky maintain the same distance from Earth. Despite their different distances from us, the stars appear to be at a fixed distance from each other when observed from our perspective on Earth.


How much closer is the moon to the sun?

The moon's average distance from the sun is exactly the same as the earth's average distance from the sun.


How far can the moon be from the sun?

Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is. At its farthest point (aphelion), Earth is about 94 million miles from the sun. The moon's orbit around Earth can add about 250,000 miles to that if it reaches its farthest point from Earth (apogee) during the full moon phase. This is a difference about 0.27% the Earth's distance tot he sun.


Are the moon and the sun the same distance from the earth?

No, the sun is much further away from the earth than the moon.
