What is the diameter from Mercury to the sun?

Answer 1

The diameter of Mercury is: 4879.4 km (3032 miles). This is 0.3829 Earth diameters.

*Because of its extremely slow rotation, Mercury has no appreciable equatorial bulge as found on other planets.
3,032.3 miles.

3,032.3 miles.

Answer 3

Oh, what a lovely question! The distance from Mercury to the sun can vary because their orbits are not perfect circles. On average, Mercury is about 36 million miles away from the sun. Just imagine all the beautiful colors and warmth that distance brings to our solar system!

Answer 4

Well, honey, the average distance from Mercury to the sun is about 36 million miles. So, if you want to get technical, the diameter would be double that, which is around 72 million miles. But hey, who's counting? Just remember, Mercury is hot, but not as hot as me!

Answer 5

The average distance from Mercury to the sun is approximately 36 million miles, or about 58 million kilometers. The diameter of this distance, also known as the heliocentric distance, would be double this value, so around 72 million miles or 116 million kilometers. This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical nature of Mercury's orbit around the sun.

Answer 6

Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of all eight planets and its distance from the Sun varies between 0.307 and 0.467 astronomical unit. (1 AU = 149.6 million km). This means that the Sun's heat and light is more than doubled when Mercury is at its closest, compared to when it is furthest away.

The orbit of Mercury is slightly 'squashed', with the minor axis of the ellipse about 2% smaller than the major axis.

Answer 7

Mercury is located about 36 million miles from the Sun on average.

Answer 8

3030 miles
