It varies slightly, as Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular, but rather a slight ellipse.
At its nearest (ironically, for the Northern Hemisphere) in Winter, Earth is 147,098,100 km (91,402,520 miles) from the Sun.
At its furthest, Earth is 152,097,700 km (94,509,130 miles) - which is only 3.4% further.
Still, this slight difference means Southern Hemisphere Summers are slightly warmer, and Southern Hemisphere Winters are slightly colder than they are in the Northern Hemisphere.

∙ 13y agoWhile it is certainly possible to calculate the distance from the Sun to the Earth in millimeters, it would be foolish to do so. The use of millimeters as a unit of measurement should be restricted to cases when precision requires it, or when the distances are small.
The distance from the Sun to the Earth varies on a moment-by-moment basis, and the "edge" of the Sun itself is indistinct; it would be impossible to say "This is the precise boundary of the Sun".

∙ 10y agoThe distance varies because the Earth's orbit is not circular, but an ellipse. The mean distance is about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles. The semi-major axis is measured as 149,598,261 kilometers.
Perihelion (when the earth is the closest to the sun) occurs around the first week or Janurary. The distance is roughly 147 million km (91.4 million miles)
Aphelion (when the earth is farthest from the sun) occurs around the first week of Janurary. The distance is about 152 million km (94.5 million miles)

Roughly 92,935,700 miles. This may be wrong.
alot and noone knows exactly because it is to hot to get to close to .

How do you know the distance between the earth and the sun is not a factor in why there are seasons?
In the northern hemisphere, the Earth is actually closer to the sun during winter than it is in the summer. Seasons are actually caused by the Earth's tilt.
What is the Average distance of the earth from the sun during its orbit is?
150G meters is the average distance of the earth form the sun.
The earth is closet to the sun at?
Aphelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is farthest from the sun Perihelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is closest to the sun so== == == ==
Why does the distance between earth and the sun differ during the year?
Simply because the Earth's path around the sun is not a circle. Earth's orbit is an ellipse - meaning its distance from the sun varies according to the time of year.
How are solstices determined?
The solstices are determined by the distance the Earth is from the sun in its orbit. Winter is when the sun is farthest away relative to the Earth's tilt. Summer occurs when the opposite is true.
During which season in the northern hemisphere does the earth reach its greatest distance from the sun?
In the summer
When is the distance between the Earth and the Sun the greatest?
The distance from Earth to the Sun during summer solstice is about 1.6 million miles further than the average distance of 93 million miles. This is because the orbit is an elliptical shape.
How do you know the distance between the earth and the sun is not a factor in why there are seasons?
In the northern hemisphere, the Earth is actually closer to the sun during winter than it is in the summer. Seasons are actually caused by the Earth's tilt.
How far is the Earth from the Sun during the summer?
The aphelion (farthest distance) from the Earth to the Sun is 152,098,232 km, and this occurs around July 3 each year. This is during summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The perihelion (closest distance) is 147,098,290 km, and this comes around January 4. This is during winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. The variation in distance is only about 3%, and other factors mitigate the increased solar energy received.
What is the Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.?
The Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.
What is the Average distance of the earth from the sun during its orbit is?
150G meters is the average distance of the earth form the sun.
Why is the sun warmer in the summer?
During summer months, the part of the world having summer is close to a right angle to the rays of the sun, giving the most heat to the area exposed. During winter, the tilt of the earth means the sun's rays strike the earth at an angle, meaning that they spread over a larger area, giving less heat. When it is summer in the northern half of the world, it is winter in the southern half. Temperature difference is not due to distance from the sun, but due to the tilt of the earth. If distance was the determining factor, both north and south would be the same temperature.
Why the distance of the earth and the sun changing constantly during its revolution?
The Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, not a perfect circle. This means that the distance between the Sun and Earth is constantly altering during the orbit of the Earth.
What is the earths distance when nearest to the sun?
The closest the earth gets to the sun is 146 million km (91 million miles) at perihelion, during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, which is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.We are farthest away at aphelion, during Northern Hemisphere summer, maximum distance is 152 million km (94.5 million miles).The average distance between the sun and the earth is 149 million kilometers (93 million miles).
What determines changes in the earth seasons?
The Earth's revolution around the Sun, combined with its axial tilt. In summer at a particular latitude the heating effect of the Sun is usually a lot more than in the winter at that latitude. This is because the tilt is "towards" the Sun in the summer, but "away" from the Sun in the winter. The seasons are not caused by the small changes in the Earth's distance from the Sun during its orbit.
Is it true that earth is closest to the sun when its summer in the northern hemisphere?
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.
In the northern hemisphere which season does the earth reach its greatest distance from the sun?
In the summer
