At its closest, Earth is about 796 million miles away from Saturn
-------------------------------------
That is when Saturn and Earth are both on the same side of the Sun and Saturn is at perihelion and Earth is at aphelion. Obviously this happens very rarely and most of the time Saturn and Earth are separated by much more distance with the maximum distance occurring when Saturn and Earth are at opposite sides of the Sun and both at aphelion.
Using average distances from the Sun the minimum distance is 1.0 - 0.7233 astronomical units, 0.2767 AU or 41.39 million km.But using the eccentricity of the orbits as well, the Earth's distance is 1.0±0.01672 AU, while Venus's distance is 0.7233x(1±0.00679) AU.Therefore the Earth's minimum distance is 0.9833 AU and Venus's maximum distance is 0.7282 AU. The difference is 0.2551 AU so the minimum distance from the Earth to Venus is 38.16 million km.
The minimum distance between Earth and Mars can vary depending on their positions in their orbits. On average, Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers away from Earth, but at their closest approach during opposition, they can get as close as 54.6 million kilometers.
The minimum distance of Mercury from the Earth is 77.3x106 km.
The minimum distance between Earth and Mars is about 33.9 million miles (54.6 million kilometers) when the two planets are at opposition, which means they are on the opposite sides of the sun in their orbits. However, the actual distance can vary depending on their positions in their respective orbits.
The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.
Saturn is 9.5 AU from the sun. This means that its approximate distance from Earth, depending on the time of year and the relative position of the two planets from one another, is between 8.5AU and 10.5AU. To be more exact, the minimum distance of Saturn from earth is 1195.5x106 km, and the maximum distance from earth is 1658.5x106 km.
The minimum distance of Jupiter from Earth (i.e. the closest approach) is equal to about 588.5x10^6 km.
Using average distances from the Sun the minimum distance is 1.0 - 0.7233 astronomical units, 0.2767 AU or 41.39 million km.But using the eccentricity of the orbits as well, the Earth's distance is 1.0±0.01672 AU, while Venus's distance is 0.7233x(1±0.00679) AU.Therefore the Earth's minimum distance is 0.9833 AU and Venus's maximum distance is 0.7282 AU. The difference is 0.2551 AU so the minimum distance from the Earth to Venus is 38.16 million km.
Saturns Moon Does But Earth Doesn't Well At Least I Think That's The Answer :)
yes
The minimum distance between the Earth and the Sun occurs during perihelion, which is when the Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit. This usually happens around January 3rd of each year.
a minimum of 1.6 billion miles
The point in earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun is called "perihelion".
It occurs approximately January 4 every year, depending on where the moon is in its orbit around the earth (it pulls the earth towards it slightly so the minimum earth-sun distance can vary from January 2nd to 6th).
The maximum distance between Earth and Jupiter is about 601 million kilometers when they are on opposite sides of the Sun (opposition). The minimum distance is around 588 million kilometers when they are on the same side of the Sun (conjunction).
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.
