Does IO orbit the sun?
There are two objects in the solar system named Io. One is an asteroid which orbits the sun. The better-known Io is a moon that orbits Jupiter.
What is Io distance from the sun?
Io orbits Jupiter. Since Jupiter is 5 AU from the sun, so is Io. One AU is earth's average distance from the sun. 5 AU is about 480 million miles.
Why is Io so cold?
Because most of Io's atmosphere is stripped away by Jupiter, there is nothing there to retain the heat. It is also really far from the sun. Even if Io had an atmosphere, the little heat it would reach from the sun would not make a signifigant increase in temperature. It is like trying to use a flashlight to heat a warehouse. It isn't going to work.
