Oh, what a lovely question! The distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun is about 93 million miles, which is beautifully awe-inspiring to think about. Just imagine that warm golden sunlight traveling all that way just to caress our little planet with its gentle touch.
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
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.
The distance to the sun is one astronomical unit (AU). The earth-sun distance is the basis for the AU.
The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is one "astronomical unit" or "AU".
in relation to earth the sun is in the center of our solar system and we revolve around the sun
No, it depends only on Earth's mass, and our distance from Earth's center.
You can't say how close a single part of the earth is to the sun, since the earth is rotating. But the distance from the earth to the sun is 93,000,000 miles.
It is the average distance between the centres of the two objects.
From the center. You should also bear in mind though, that 1AU is 149,597,870.691 kilometres which is slightly less than the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.

The distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon is about 238,837 miles. That distance varies somewhat, because the moon doesn't follow a perfect circular orbit; instead it has an elliptical orbit. At the closest point, the moon is 225,622 miles from the earth; while at its farthest, is 252,088 miles.The sun is about 92,955,820.5 miles from the earth. At that distance, it takes about 8 1/2 minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth!
Ummmm.... No. The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy. Light things in orbit, heavier things in the center of the orbit. Well not exactly, they revolve around their common center of mass. This may or may not be at the exact center as far as distance. The common center of mass of the Moon and the Earth is located inside the earth, but not at the center of the Earth.
distance earth from the sun
The Earth's orbit is very nearly a circle, with the Sun very nearly at the center of the circle. The average distance of the Earth from the Sun ... the radius of the circle ... is 93 million miles.
Venus has an average distance from the Sun that is about 108% of Earth's distance. This makes Venus the planet closest to having a distance from the Sun that is 150% of Earth's distance.
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.
The distance from the surface of the Earth to its center is approximately 6,371 kilometers.
