One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles. Therefore, 142 million miles from the Sun is approximately 1.53 AU. This calculation is based on the conversion factor of 1 AU = 93 million miles.

What is the distance between Mars and Saturn?

This varies a lot as Mars and our Earth-moon system are are two different orbits. At the most extreme, Mars would would be on the other side of the solar system, on the other side of the sun from Earth. Here the distance of Mars from earth would be around 380 million km. At its closest point, Mars may be only as far as 55.8 million km from the Earth-moon system. The moon is comparatively close to the Earth at 0.4 million km or 400,000km and keeps with the earth on its orbit around the sun, so we may as well talk about the Earth-moon system as a whole in this context.


How far away is Mars to Jupiter?

Mars and Jupiter are separated by an asteroid belt. The distance between them is 3.7 AUs (Astronomical Units). One AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth. 1 AU = 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) 3.7 AU = 555 million km (344 million miles) The actual distance from Jupiter to Mars is constantly changing. Use the related link below for the current distance between the two planets.


How many miles from Jupiter from the sun?

Because of it elliptical orbit, Jupiter may be from 460 to 508 million miles from the sun.


It is 5900 million miles from the sun?

The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). If it's 5900 million miles from the Sun you may be referring to a distance to a different planet, such as Neptune or Saturn.


What is Mars' AU compared to Earth?

If I may interpret your question: 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the sun to Earth = roughly 93,000,000 miles. The average Mars-Sun distance is about 1.52 AU, so Mars is 1.52 X 93,000,000 = 141,360,000 miles from the sun.

The Phoenix mars lander was launched in August 2007 and arrived in May 2008 how long was the journey between Earth and Mars?

Because Earth and Mars are moving in their paths around the sun, the Phoenix spacecraft had to both "veer" outward towards Mars and then catch up to the moving planet. Therefore, the total distance traveled by the spacecraft was about 680 million kilometers (423 million miles). (Think of one runner trying to catch up to another runner on a track. Even though the two may be close together, they may run a significant distance around the track before the 2nd runner catches up). At the time Phoenix was launched (Aug 2007), the Earth-Mars distance was 196 million km (122 million miles). At the time of landing, the distance between the two planets was 276 million km (171 million miles).

What is the distance from the earth to the Mars?

At any given time, Earth and Mars may be anywhere from 55 million kilometers apart to over 401 million kilometers apart (34 to 249 million miles). At some times of the year, they are on opposite sides of the Sun. The Earth orbits the Sun in an ellipse (elongated circle or oval). Mars has a similar shaped orbit - but farther out. They also orbit at different speeds. The farthest the Earth ever gets from the Sun is 152 million kilometers and the nearest Mars ever gets to the Sun is 207 million kilometers. So Earth and Mars could, very rarely, be as little as 55 million kilometers (34 million miles) apart, when they are directly in line with the Sun. The closest recent distance was in 2003, when they were 56 million kilometers at closest approach.

If Venus is 29point7 million miles farther from the sun than Mercury then Earth is 26point8 million miles farther from the sun than Venus Total distance 203point2 how far from the sun is Mercury?

Assuming that the distance 203.2 million miles is the total distance from Earth to Sun, then the distance from Mercury to the Sun may be found by subtracting the other two numbers given for distance: (203.2 - 29.7 - 26.8) million = 146.7 million miles. Note, however, that the actual distance from Earth to Sun averages about 93 million rather than 203 million miles, so that if the question refers to the actual Earth on which we live, the answer would be 36.7 million miles.
