The Earth's distance from the Sun varies slightly, since Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle.

Earth's closest distance (perihelion) occurs in early January each year when it is approximately 91,445,000 miles (147,166,000 km) from the sun.

Earth's farthest distance (aphelion) occurs in early July each year when it is approximately 94,555,000 miles (152,171,000 km) from the sun.

The distance is one AU (astronomical unit) from the sun. One AU is 93 million miles, which is 8.3 light minutes.

Does light pollution effect how you see planets?

In short, yes, but it really depends on how far the planets are from Earth. Planets such as Venus and Jupiter can be seen literally as soon as the sun has set, so nearby planets will be visible in light-polluted cities.
