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.

What Venus's minimum distance to earth?

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.


What is the minimum distance between earth and Mars?

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.


What is the minimum distance of mercury from the earth?

The minimum distance of Mercury from the Earth is 77.3x106 km.


What is the minimum distance from Earth to Mars?

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.


What is the Third planet to the sun?

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.

What is Saturns distance from the earth?

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.
