Assuming the earth moves in a circular orbit around the sun, the distance it moves in a year is the circumference of the circle:
c = 2 * PI * r
Given r = 150,000,000km, then c = 942,477,796km.
Now to compute the number of seconds in a year:
s = 365.24 * 60 * 60 * 24, so s = 31,556,736.
So the earth travels c/s km in a second, or 29.866km.

venus (in terms of distance from the sun). In terms of distance from the earth, it is Mars In terms of size, it is Saturn.
Planet by a long way. They vary but in our solar system the largest is Jupiter and it's 66,854km across the middle. A light second is the distance travelled by light in a second = 299,792.5km A star can be lots of different sizes - our Sun is = 1,391,980km An AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun = 149,598,000 km
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
The speed of light is 300,000 km per second. The Moon's distance varies between about 360,000 km and 405,000 km from the Earth. So it takes a little over a second for light reflected from the Moon to reach 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.
93,500,000 Miles. Called 1 Astronomical unit, or 1 AU
The distance from side to side through the center of the Earth is called the diameter. The Earth's diameter is 12,742 kilometers.
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
it is 4.24 lightyears away
diameter
The distance between the North and South Poles through the Earth's axis is approximately 12,742 kilometers (about 7,918 miles). This distance represents the Earth's diameter, as it spans directly through the planet's center along the axis of rotation.

The circumference is the distance around the Earth at it's widest point. The diameter goes through the center of the Earth from one side to the other.
I assume you mean, of the gravitational field? The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At a distance of 1 Earth radius, the distance from the center of the Earth is twice the distance at the Earth's surface; thus, the field strength is 1/4 what it is on the surface. If at the surface the field strength is about 9.8 meters per second square, divide that by 4 to get the field strength at a distance of one Earth radius from the surface.I assume you mean, of the gravitational field?
